My heart and thoughts go out to his family.

Re: Confirmed, RIP John Perry Barlow
So bummed. He hadn't been well for a few years and it was hard to watch as he posted about it. Was happy to see he was able to meet his first grandchild late last year.
Bobby posted a lot of nice pictures of JPB on his FB page as well as this:
This life is fleeting, as we all know - the Muse we serve is not. John had a way of taking life’s most difficult things and framing them as challenges, therefore adventures - by their nature awakening and maybe even fun. He was to be admired for that, even emulated. He’ll live on in the songs we wrote...
John Perry Barlow 1947-2018
Rest in peace, JPB. Thanks for the songs.

What's to be found, racing around,
You carry your pain wherever you go.
Full of the blues and trying to lose
You ain't gonna learn what you don't want to know.
So I give you my eyes, and all of their lies
Please help them to learn as well as to see
Capture a glance and make it a dance
Of looking at you looking at me.
You carry your pain wherever you go.

Capture a glance and make it a dance
Of looking at you looking at me.

Thanks for poetic lyrics that will live in our souls, and beyond all of our years. . I hope you were “enjoying the ride”.

Re: Confirmed, RIP John Perry Barlow
I met him in NYC after a show, he was with some local heads I knew. He introduced himself as John. I thought he was just another local head, he was friendly. Then a half hour into it somebody addressed him as Mr. Barlow and I stopped ignoring him.
Let us try our best to continue to keep the dream alive. Rest in Peace Brother John Perry Barlow.

Re: Confirmed, RIP John Perry Barlow
The deepest journeys pass through the wilderness
The desert where the burning question resides
To taste the magic you must first suck the emptiness
From a cup that is always dry
"Being anti-racist is not political, it is being a decent human being."
Re: Confirmed, RIP John Perry Barlow
He will be sorely missed .

Re: Confirmed, RIP John Perry Barlow
i wanted to go to CA a few years back when the offer of meeting Barlow to have lunch I believe, to help fund his health care was made (we live in an assbackwards land). i didn't do it and i will always regret that.
the words of Barlow and Hunter are the words that make up what i know is the real me.
the words of these men define who i am. they are why i get up in the morning with hope.
they enlighten me every time i listen to their wisdom.
only a kind cosmos would have bought this collection of oddities together to change a generation who's actions and deeds will continue to reverberate through time.
fare the well indeed.

i knew he was active in internet things, but almost all the headlines i'm seeing are saying "cyber libertarian" "activist" "internet pioneer". being a songwriter is a footnote
