    RIP Robert Hunter

    Today around noon my phone blew up with texts about the passing of Robert Hunter. Best known as the lyricist who worked heavily Jerry Garcia (and to a lesser extent Brent Mydland) of the Grateful Dead. Also Zero and others.

    My brains been swimming with the myriad lines of his brilliant word smithing for the past hours... but...maybe it's because of the current times (or it being a favorite tune of mine)... I keep coming back to an interview with him about "Franklins Tower.

    He talked about writing it before the bi-centennial in 76...watching his son growing up... and wondering if the country could survive another fracturing like we had seen during the Vietnam war. I guess that question is still up in the air....but being tested daily.

    RIP... "let there be songs to fill the air".
