Fare thee well Bob! What a life in music.

RIP.

I wonder if Mayer will continue to carry the torch, or if the music will stop.

kQq9oHeAz6wLLS•3w ago
The music never stops

He would want us to be stewards of the music... and people still talking about it in 300 years.

Besides their music, their mail-order ticketing system and the resulting fan envelope art are quite amazing: [Apologies for the scary link]

Particularly relevant to HN is that Bobby's primary writing partner for decades was John Perry Barlow, cofounder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF):

https://www.eff.org/john-perry-barlow

  A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace
  by John Perry Barlow
  
  Governments of the Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel,
  I come from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I
  ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You
  have no sovereignty where we gather.
   
  We have no elected government, nor are we likely to have one, so I address
  you with no greater authority than that with which liberty itself always
  speaks. I declare the global social space we are building to be naturally
  independent of the tyrannies you seek to impose on us.
https://www.eff.org/cyberspace-independence#main-content

Many of Bobby Weir's best-known songs had lyrics penned by Barlow. The world is a brighter place because of their partnership, and a little more grey in their absence.

This always makes me laugh. Comically pretentious & naive. Like schoolboy poetry.
windowpains•3w ago
The EFF, FOSS, Stallman, Barlow, so many things seem childish or naive now, but not back then. Maybe it’s just me. I wish I could go back.
sswaner•3w ago
May the four winds blow you safely home.

It was a privilege to see him perform many times.

zabzonk•3w ago
This made me think that, for a band known for its guitarists, what great vocalists the Dead had - Weir, Garcia, Lesh, Pigpen, particularly when doing harmonies.

Anyway, bye-bye Bob, thanks for all the music.

iancmceachern•3w ago
As my wife said, Bobby was our Jerry. We never got to see Jerry play, but we saw Bob several times and are so grateful for it.

Fare thee well, Bob.

Sad. Rest in peace Bob. Thank you for your art.
zebomon•3w ago
I saw him perform 26 times in my life, and still those were rookie numbers. Still I thought there would be so many more too. Thanks for all the music, Bobby Weir.
adfm•3w ago
This is definitely sad news. From I remember, the early Internet seemed to be inhabited mostly by deadheads. When you think of open source, remember the music and the thousands who would tape and share the experience of Bobby playing with the band to millions.
