Worth noting: former Dead lyricist, co-founder of the EFF (join today!) and respected author, (he wrote a Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace), John Perry Barlow has started a blog.
Having long enjoyed his writing (and don’t forget he wrote most of the songs that Brent Mydland performed with the dead, as well as Black Throated Wind and Lazy Lightnin’), I look forward to his use of the more casual, semi-interactive blog medium.
Furthur!
