Somewhere in Signpost, I think it is (or some other interview I haven't read for 20 years), Jerry is talking about the days when he and Hunter, newly sprung from the army, were living in derelict cars in Palo Alto (it is left to the reader to contemplate the halcyon days when there were derelict cars in Palo Alto...), mostly on canned pineapple liberated from the armed forces. Many's the time I've thought how different life would be for how many people if not for those days. Anyway, this is the place for fans of Hunter to congregate, pay tribute, fantasize about tours, and otherwise be darn glad we didn't miss this guy.
thanks for the info
that's the first I've heard of it. Is it out yet? Know what it's called? I wonder if they collaborated on any songs together, that would be wild.
so that's what he has been up to
I really look forward to this Dylan release. Two of the greatest lyric forces team up.

Together Through Life...
... is the name of the new Dylan album and is set for release April 28th. Dylan and Hunter co-wrote all the songs except one. This is Hunters 2nd time working with Dylan. They also wrote "Silvio" and "Ugliest Girl In The World" together.
whatever happened to RH's
whatever happened to RH's (sort of) daily blog entries? I used to count on reading about his daily battles with the (Russian?) river and whatever golden bits of introspection he chose to drop on us. it had no signs or dividing lines and very few rules to guide.
if you're out there, RH, please reconsider doing that again. daily, weekly, monthly. yearly. whatever. it's all good.
Happy birthday
to the one whose inspiration has moved us all, brightly or otherwise... Many happy returns of the day, and all good things to you and yours.
Happy Birthday RH!
I hope you have been healthy, happy and creative. And that your friends and family are treating you like the King that you are!
Drop us a journal entry...it's been over two years. Your adoring fans need to hear from you.
Peace, love and respect,

Where the heck is he?
He hasn't updated his Hunter Archive in ages. Anyone know how he's doing?
Hunter's book
Hunter was working on a fictional novel a few years back. Anybody know if it got published and the title? I need it for a birthday present plus I want to read it. Thanks in advance.
Hunter's Book
As I recall, he couldn't find a publisher, and let it drop. There were suggestions that he circulate it privately by various means, but the impression given was that he'd rather just let it be.
Disappointing as that is, it's clear that Mr Hunter will do as he will, and I respect his decision, even if I don't happen to agree.
The good news is, his second collaboration with Jim Lauderdale should be out by sometime this spring! Looks as if his writing is in high gear: Lauderdale, Dylan, NRPS, Papa Mali and BK, and so forth--
A Humble Poem
-----------(-----@Amidst the cosmic afternoon
skies thoughts into mind
not regular so complex
elevated response
real as only two but not
three dense reality instant
a dawning in the thickets
where the briars struck beat
past absent from start
unable to separate the two
the night fell many times
I not being apart from me
never saw as two but
it entrenched me as one
but that that one does
know not can pass to
a fate of beautifulness
then it came to be of calm
for it would never again be
that way.
I,I,I,
Love you so much.

Happy birthday...
and many more, to a guy without whom a whole lot of lives would be really different, and not in a good way.
Happy Birthday Mr. Hunter!
Thanks for all the great wonderful things you've done. Have a very Hippy Happy Birthday my brother! May you have many more!
How about a Birthday blog for old times sake? LOL

Happy Birthday
and many more. Thanks for continuing to grace us with your words. Miss your online journal. Glad that this has been a productive time for you with the Dylan and Lauderdale releases.
I saw myself
a ring of bone
in the clear stream
of all of it.

Speaking of Jim Lauderdale--
Sounds like he and Mr Hunter have been most productive--per this interview with Jim, another collaboration is on the way--a bluegrass album this time. As usual, can't wait!

RH now on Live Music Archive
Mr Hunter has now allowed his live performances to be hosted, streaming and downloadable, on the Live Music Archive, thanks to a request by Charlie Miller.
Thanks Charlie, and thanks, rh!

The following are the sheduled gigs:
Sat, Sep 28

(What is BRE anyway? An organization of Scottish Rite Masons within the Illuminati?)
Built To Last lyrics subject?
Who were the subjects Built To Last were written for? It's dawned on me that "3 blue stars" could be a reference to 3 Sons In Service (2 of whom apparently did not return).
This song jumped out at me when my son shipped out to Marines Boot Camp, I had no idea why - it's the one song I have run thru my head each of the last 150 days, deeply but inexplicably connecting it to my son-in-service experience. Then, this morning, I learned of the "son-in-service" flags: 1 blue star = 1 son in Service; 3 blue stars = 3 sons in Service.
cheers,
Bob

I found a cool belt buckley if ya know of anyone who might of lost it at interlocked let me know.
It was 30 years ago today...
That I first turned up on Robert Hunter's doorstep to do an interview for the Golden Road. I remember it as if it were yesterday, but perhaps not with perfect accuracy. (The interview's in the Oxford Grateful Dead Reader, which I think is still in print and which I'd heartily recommend on general principles.)
Hunter posted this on FB last night
And it seems like a good idea to post it here, the rumor mill being what it is:

It’s come to my attention that there is an article circulating from http://www.digitalmusicnews.com/permalink/2014/07/22/grateful-dead-lyri… taking a few quotes out of context from last year’s interview I did for a Rolling Stone profile.
Thank you all for your concern regarding my health, however I am grateful this is old news taken out of context and has been sensationalized. I am fully recovered, and I am not in need of any financial help or indebted, although I'm deeply touched by the immediate concern and overwhelming response of the community. The reason I have decided to come back to touring is to play the music I love and for the deep connection to my audiences.
I am going on stage not because I have to but because I WANT to. Reconnecting with the fans and the music is a powerful experience and not one that I take lightly.
Still kicking,
Robert.
Thanks for this post!
My son today told me he heard Robert Hunter had to go on tour to pay for medical expenses and I said that doesn't seem to ring true after reading a recent interview.
This repost clears that up!!
