Yeah, I realized that a lot of what I am is because of Robert Hunter. I feel it. RIP. I have a strange view of death. I view it as a horrible end. But a deeper part of me views it as part of a much better beginning. And as Mark Twain said, we go back to where we were before we were born, and it wasn't a problem then.

One of my favorite lyrics from him, apart from Dark Star (that one is hors concours), is this one, I remember listening to those verses, stoned by the beach:

Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand
Says, "Don't you see?
Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe
Don't give it up, you got an empty cup
That only love can fill, only love can fill"
