COGNITIVE DISSIDENT: John Perry Barlow '69 rides fences on the
electronic frontier by Lisa Greim '81
(written for Wesleyan magazine, an alumni publication)
To the surprise of many who know him, John Perry Barlow '69 has
become respectable. In the last six years, Barlow, 46, has evolved
from Wyoming cattle rancher into one of the nation's most outspoken
computer experts and defenders of the right to digital freedom.
He and Lotus Development Corp. founder Mitchell Kapor started
the Electronic Frontier Foundation one snowy afternoon in Barlow's
kitchen in Pinedale, Wyoming, a tiny town west of the Wind River
Range of the Tetons.

Arista turned the intervinew into a disc that was sent to radio

MUNI: Let's talk about the band, the Jerry Garcia Band. There
are some very familiar friends from the past, even back to the
'60s, and some newies. So why don't we start with Kahn?

Late Summer 1993:
Hi Fi in the Arena: The Concert Sound of the Grateful Dead
The other night I experienced the finest large-scale High-End

of what the state-of- the-art in High End sound reproduction is
capable of.
Robert Hunter interview

This interview was done around the time of the release of Liberty.
. . . it probably presupposes a fair amount of familiarity with
Hunter's work, for a couple of reasons.
Robert Hunter Interview Marin Independent Journal 5/14/91 (5 Kb)
A FATHER SURVIVES HIS GRIEF: Time heals pain for poet behind the
Grateful Dead
By Paul Liberatore, IJ senior features writer
"I will get by. I will survive."

Bill Kreutzmann Interview Reptiles Magazine (21 Kb)
The March issue of Reptiles Magazine contains an interview with
Big Bill. I haven't seen anything about it here, so I thought
I'd post it for all to see.

you will see, there isn't much reptile content.
An Interview With The Grateful Dead's Bill Kreutzmann
Story and Photos by Phillip Samuelson
Bill Kreutzmann has been a drummer for the Grateful Dead since
1965, when the band was known as the Warlocks. He has been along
for the ride throughout the entire history of this unique, innovative
group, and he shows no signs of letting up now.
I haven't seen anyone mention this yet so I thought i'd post some
parts of the interview with Dick Latvala (Dead Tape Vault Archivist)
that is in the newest issue of Dupree's Diamond News. It provides
some important information about some of these shows we are so
interested in :-)
REFERING TO THE CHOICES FOR DICKS PICKS VOL 1:
Dennis McNally Interview Unbroken Chain (23 Kb)
Here is an interview with Dennis McNally, the publicist for the
Grateful Dead. It is in the latest issue of Unbroken Chain and
has been copied without permission of course! Keep in mind that
this interview was done before the Hampton Dead shows when you
read the part about Hampton. I felt that it was an interesting
interview and it also touched on the band and McNally's feelings
on the ticketless people that show up at the venues the band plays.
I hope you enjoy it. Any typo's are my fault!
Interview was conducted by Tim Ashbridge immediately prior to
the JGB show at the Capitol Centre 11/07/91.

things.

IN SEARCH OF THE GRATEFUL DEAD
by Vic Garbarini
This article is taken from MUSICIAN magazine......Number 36, October,
1981. It is presented for your perusal and reading pleasure. Please
excuse any scanning errors that I may have missed. It obviously
is dated....but it is worth the time spent. It has been copied
without permission....so if you have any qualms about reading
stuff like this....now is the time to stop. It is long.....75K....but
it deals with some good stuff that still rings true...even if
it is almost 15 years old. Enjoy!
This article is reprinted without permission from the magazine
NEW YORKER.....11 October 93. If you have problems with reading
copyrighted material illegally presented....then perhaps it might
be better to stop reading here....although you would miss a pretty
mainstream/cerebral interview that is interesting.......
STILL TRUCKIN'
BY BILL BARICH
How did Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead become the top concert
draw in America? For a start, they discovered the benefits of
interactive rock long ago, and have kept up a dialogue with Deadheads
everywhere eversince. And for Garcia, it's still all about having
fun.
Phil Lesh reminds us that Gray Folded is a John Oswald record,
not a Grateful Dead record. John Oswald is a composer who often
uses existing recordings as raw materials.
DG: Gray Folded seems to me as though you atomized Dark Star through
the ages and broke it up into many, many, many small parts and
then put them back together into a composite Dark Star, which
in theory is exactly what I expected you to do, but in practice
appears to have become sort of a homogenized Dark Star in a way,
and has lost a lot of its contour.
