Mr. Heartbreak Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Yeah, I found out late today. He was only 70. At least he died peacefully in his sleep, which ain’t a bad way to go. Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Definitely had a rough last couple of years. Was a very interesting, smart guy. Glad he was able to put up with Weir and write some great tunes. Message from his Electronic Frontier Foundation. http://electronic frontier foundation Definitely not a good way to start a new thread... Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 What a great song. I woke up with this line in my head this morning and can't shake it: Passing me byThe buses and semisPlunging like stones from a slingshot on Mars Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Nice radio show from last night. McNally tells a nice story of Barlow working as the Dead's tour manager for the June '80 tour. https://kpfa.org/episode/dead-to-the-world-february-7-2018/ Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Tweet from Steve Silberman: Steve SilbermanVerified account @stevesilbermanFollowFollow @stevesilbermanMoreMourning @jpbarlow. His "Principles of Adult Behavior," written on Oct. 3, 1977 when he turned 30 (an age he never expected to reach), are as wise a guide to life as I know. Thanks, John.

calvino Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Parrish tells some nice stories about Barlow on the above radio show, too. I guess Barlow and John Kennedy were friends. Of all the people in the GD cirlce - I think Barlow has to be the most known and influential outside the Dead circle. Crazy that him and Weir got hooked up in their youth.

jw harding Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 A cowboy turned Harvard dropout turned India vagabond turned Millbrook resident with Leary turned coke dealer turned Grateful Dead lyricist turned political activist (and Cheney supporter) turned internet pioneer. The guy did alright. Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 According to the below he managed Cheney's first electoral campaign. Crazy -- guessing they shared the same libertarian/anti-big goverment beliefs. Didn't know he was inolved with Burning Man, too. https://burners.me/tag/john-perry-barlow/ Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Regarding 9.11.73 -- I have never been a huge fan of Weather Report Suite and think the horns added much to the 9/11/17 version. Nice Dark Start, too --- the Phil outro into Morning Dew is great. Always nice to hear a Let Me Sing Your Blues Away - dig the horns on that one, too. Speaking of Doug Sahm - saw that there is a doc. on Netflix or Amazon - need to check that out. I know very little about him, actually nothing, except the Tupelo cover.

Analogman Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 I think Jerry is mentioned in the documentary a few times. He had some great songs - mostly the early stuff. Link to post Share on other sites

Makes sense - one of the main organizers was living in Lyons, CO when the Fed's finally caught up with him. Link to post Share on other sites

i'm only sleeping Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I just saw a few secs of a clip someone did with Bob singing Cassidy in Barlow's wake. And what seems like a lot of people filming with their phones . Depressing. Link to post Share on other sites
