John Perry Barlow, the Grateful Dead lyricist, poet, writer, and Internet freedom activist, has died at the age of 70..

In the fall of 1971, with a deal for a solo album in hand and only two songs completed, Weir and Barlow began to write together for the first time. They co-wrote songs as "Cassidy", "Mexicali Blues" and "Black-Throated Wind", all three of which would remain in the repertoires of the Grateful Dead and of Weir's varied solo projects for decades to come..
