Frases de Robert Hunter

Robert C. Christie Hunter foi um letrista, cantautor, tradutor e poeta americano, mais conhecido por seu trabalho com a banda Grateful Dead. Nascido perto de San Luis Obispo, Califórnia, Hunter passou parte de sua infância em lares adotivos, como resultado de seu pai abandonar sua família, fazendo-o dedicar-se na leitura e na escrita. Ele frequentou a universidade em Connecticut por um ano antes de retornar a Palo Alto, onde se tornou amigo de Jerry Garcia. Garcia e Hunter começaram uma colaboração que durou o resto da vida de Garcia.

Garcia e outros formaram a Grateful Dead em 1965, e algum tempo depois começou a trabalhar com as letras que Hunter havia escrito. Garcia o convidou para se juntar à banda como letrista, e Hunter contribuiu substancialmente para muitos de seus álbuns, começando com Aoxomoxoa em 1969. Ao longo dos anos, Hunter escreveu letras para várias músicas da banda, incluindo "Dark Star", "Ripple", "Truckin'", "China Cat Sunflower" e "Terrapin Station". Hunter foi introduzido no Hall da Fama do Rock and Roll com a Grateful Dead em 1994 e é o único não-intérprete a ser indicado como membro de uma banda. Após sua morte, a Rolling Stone o descreveu como "um dos letristas mais ambiciosos e deslumbrantes do rock". Wikipedia
