	H-Net Review: Robert G. Weiner on The Grateful Dead
		Although Piccoli does eventually mention lyricist Robert Hunter, the band's other major songwriter/lyricist John Perry Barlow is absent.
		(Mention of the fateful meeting between Garcia and his friend and thirty-year song-writing partner, Robert Hunter, during the early sixties is strangely absent).
		Piccoli, a journalist for the Washington Times, begins the story of the GD with Jerry Garcia's childhood and the traumatic events which eventually shaped his world-view and his interest in art, philosophy, literature, and music.

		Hunter’s voice and electric guitar carried quite well throughout the large venue, sounding powerful, even though he has conveyed many times he doesn’t really care for playing venues this big.

		It's really good to get back together with Hunter; especially when you get [the Dead's second lyricist, John] Barlow.
		Hunter doesn't perform or sing much, but he got out here and sung, and he couldn't remember the words to Ripple, so all the audience had to help him out [laughs].
		There was a place called the Chateau; Hunter, I think, at that time roomed with Phil Lesh.

	New York Daily News - Theater - Robert Dominguez: A sizzling rhapsody in blues
		Playing Hunter at different ages are Broadway veteran Ann Duquesnay, who won a Tony as co-composer and lyricist of "Bring in Da Noise, Bring in Da Funk," and Debra Walton, who shines in multiple roles.
		Walton is a polished singer, but her humorous impersonations of such Hunter collaborators as Louis Armstrong keep "Cookin'" sizzling even when Duquesnay isn't singing.
		Written and directed by Marion J. Caffey, "Cookin'" glosses over such dramatic elements as Hunter's homosexuality and childhood sex abuse in favor of a feel-good tribute to a showbiz survivor whose career, minus a 20-year hiatus as a practical nurse, spanned nearly seven decades.

Now expanded with eight previously unreleased outtakes from the original sessions, including "Study for Eep Hour" and a "Dealin' From the Bottom" studio jam.

		Garcia and the Dead kept truckin' for many years, but they could not totally defy the shift in the times.

	"The lesson of the sixties is that people who cared enough to do right could change history" (Abbie Hoffman)
		Lyricist Robert Hunter was part of a government funded Stanford study in the early 1960's, after which he suggested to the rest of the musical band he was in this substance had merits.
		In the spring McCarthy tried to intimidate the Army, and after the 'Army-McCarthy hearings' were over it was the turn of 'tail gunner Joe' to face investigation, and a humiliating condemnation by the Senate resulted on December 3.
		The presidential candidacy of Eugene McCarthy for the 1968 election was a spectacular example of a block of voters emerging which later more successful candidates felt a need to work with.

	Nonsense & Whimsy in Robert Hunter's Lyrics
		There is a long-standing and honorable tradition of nonsense in English language poetry, and Robert Hunter has contributed several notable examples of the form in his years as lyricist for the Grateful Dead.
		Nonsense is a perfect refuge for the cherished sense of ambiguity with which Hunter seeks to imbue his lyrics; interpretation is a task which, though not entirely pointless, can also never be entirely sensible.
		I think rather that Hunter has begun to integrate nonsense into otherwise more straightforward lyrics, as in "A Touch of Grey", which, in the midst of its anthemic verses, makes statements such as "The cow is giving kerosene," which fits with the sense of a world gone topsy-turvy, but is itself nonsense.

	Nonsense & Whimsy in Robert Hunter's Lyrics
		There is a long-standing and honorable tradition of nonsense in English language poetry, and Robert Hunter has contributed several notable examples of the form in his years as lyricist for the Grateful Dead.
		Nonsense is a perfect refuge for the cherished sense of ambiguity with which Hunter seeks to imbue his lyrics; interpretation is a task which, though not entirely pointless, can also never be entirely sensible.
		A characteristic of nonsense is that it lends itself so well to diverse interpretation, when in fact the key might be that there is "no sense" to the verse; images are free to resonate independently of actual meaning.

	Skeleton Key by Shenk and Silberman
		Skeleton Key is the first detailed road map of the culture and lifeways of Deadheads, featuring interviews with hundreds of fans and family, including Elvis Costello and Bill Walton, and thoughts on the music and community by people like Dead lyricist Robert Hunter, mythographer Joseph Campbell, and Grateful Dead Hour host David Gans.
		Skeleton Key features a foreword by John Perry Barlow, Dead lyricist and co-founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
		The icon on the cover of Skeleton Key is a 200-year-old Tibetan thangka used for meditation, of skeletons dancing in a cloud of fire, an image of enlightened consciousness awakening even in the midst of death.

	Reason: Come Hear Uncle Sam’s Band: The hippie capitalism of the Grateful Dead
		Robert Hunter, lyricist for the Grateful Dead, was interviewed in the 1990s by someone who wanted to know where that quintessential ’60s countercultural band had stood on the key issue of those times-that-were-a-changin’.
		The Dead were a throwback to the ’50s Beat cool that reigned when Garcia and Hunter, born in 1942 and 1941 respectively, were kids.
		The Dead had to explain that while they reserved the right to play for fun and for free in their community and among their friends, they were in fact trying to earn a living through music.

	Phil Lesh & Friends: There And Back Again - All CDs $5.99 and Free Shipping at yourmusic.com
		Lesh has made one other crucial connection, bringing in Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter to write the words for six of the 11 songs.
		(One of them is "Liberty," a Jerry Garcia co-composition the Grateful Dead performed toward the end.) Hunter has a distinctive, wordy writing style, full of allusions, aphorisms, and wordplay that will be familiar to any Deadhead.
		For the most part, the band keeps their natural tendency to jam in check, placing emphasis on the well-written songs.

	Boston.com / A&E / Music / CD reviews / Ryan Adams takes Dead aim
		The tip-off comes on the first song, ''Magnolia Mountain," which suggests a cross between the Dead's ''Sugar Magnolia" and Young's ''Sugar Mountain." Even the CD's title is flush with hippie imagery, evoking song titles by Dead lyricist Robert Hunter including ''It Must Have Been the Roses" and ''Run for the Roses."
		Adams, who plays the Orpheum Theatre on May 17, must be in an optimistic mood -- judging from his new tracks.
		He makes his case with his new band the Cardinals, guiding them through a generous work that is generally mellow but far from somnolent.
