Frasi di Robert Hunter

Robert Hunter è stato un poeta, paroliere e musicista statunitense, famoso in particolar modo come paroliere dei Grateful Dead e per la sua trentennale collaborazione con Jerry Garcia.

Appassionato di bluegrass, Hunter fu uno sperimentatore di sostanze stupefacenti e allucinogene insieme allo scrittore Ken Kesey: provò gli effetti dell'LSD e della mescalina. Queste esperienze influirono molto sulla sua opera come artista.

Scrisse alcuni dei testi dei Grateful Dead, il gruppo del suo amico Jerry Garcia. La prima collaborazione di Garcia e Hunter fu per il celebre brano Dark Star. In seguito scrisse parte del testo di Alligator , per diventare nel 1969 il paroliere ufficiale del gruppo. Hunter rimase in questo ruolo fino alla morte di Garcia .

Hunter ha anche realizzato numerosi album solisti. Alcuni sono veri e propri album musicali, spesso basati su cover dei Grateful Dead; altri sono letture di opere con accompagnamento musicale. Wikipedia
