We fondly remember, lyricist Robert Hunter, who has died at age 78. Most notably, he wrote lyrics for many, many of the Grateful Dead's masterpiece songs. But, there is so much more to him than just his writings of these songs, as he wrote 100+ tunes and a number of them were covered by different artists. He collaborated with Bob Dylan on a few occasions as well. It was not just him writing the lyrics, the prose, to Jerry Garcia's melodies. It was indeed much more than that.
