Librarian Deciphers Grateful Dead Lyrics

December 9th, 2005

A great article from AP on David Dodd, the library director and blogger who wrote a book on Greatful Dead lyrics. Some quotes from Robert Hunter:

“It has a lengthy foreword by the band’s principal lyricist, Robert Hunter, who came out of seclusion long enough to pay Dodd the ultimate compliment: He said the researcher got it right.”

“It’s a lovely book,” Hunter remarked from his home in Northern California. “I thumb through it and find it actually of interest. … I had no idea that all of these things he found had affected my songs.”

I ordered my book a while ago on Amazon, but haven’t received it yet, although it’s been out for more than a month. (Grumble).
