A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace
by John Perry Barlow
Governments of the Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel,
I come from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I
ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You
have no sovereignty where we gather.
We have no elected government, nor are we likely to have one, so I address
you with no greater authority than that with which liberty itself always
speaks. I declare the global social space we are building to be naturally
independent of the tyrannies you seek to impose on us.
Many of Bobby Weir's best-known songs had lyrics penned by Barlow. The world is a brighter place because of their partnership, and a little more grey in their absence.

It was a privilege to see him perform many times.
Anyway, bye-bye Bob, thanks for all the music.
> Summers fade and roses die
> The answer came, the wind and rain

> Circle songs and sands of time
> And seasons will end in tumbled rhyme
> And little change, the wind and rain
Fare thee well, Bob.
I wonder if Mayer will continue to carry the torch, or if the music will stop.
