Synopsis
John Perry Barlow's wild ride with the Grateful Dead was just part of a Zelig-like life that took him from a childhood as ranching royalty in Wyoming to membership in the Internet Hall of Fame as a digital free speech advocate. Mother American Night is the wild, funny, heartbreaking, and often unbelievable (yet completely true) story of an American icon. Born into a powerful Wyoming political family, John Perry Barlow wrote the lyrics for thirty Grateful Dead songs while also running his family's cattle ranch. He hung out in Andy Warhol's Factory, went on a date with the Dalai Lama's sister, and accidentally shot Bob Weir in the face on the eve of his own wedding. As a favor to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Barlow mentored a young JFK Jr. and the two then became lifelong friends. Despite being a freely self-confessed acidhead, he served as Dick Cheney's campaign manager during Cheney's first run for Congress. And after befriending a legendary early group of computer hackers known as the Legion of Doom, Barlow became a renowned internet guru who then cofounded the groundbreaking Electronic Frontier Foundation. His r sum only hints of the richness of a life lived on the edge. Blessed with an incredible sense of humor and a unique voice, Barlow was a born storyteller in the tradition of Mark Twain and Will Rogers. Through intimate portraits of friends and acquaintances from Bob Weir and Jerry Garcia to Timothy Leary and Steve Jobs, Mother American Night traces the generational passage by which the counterculture became the culture, and it shows why learning to accept love may be the hardest thing we ever ask of ourselves., Mother American Night is the heartrendingly sad, hysterically funny, and often unbelievable yet always completely true story of a singular individual. Referred to by more than one publication as "The Most Interesting Man in the World," Barlow has throughout his life maintained close relationships with such diverse cultural figures as Bob Weir, Jerry Garcia, Timothy Leary, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. During his long and varied career, Barlow has written the lyrics to 30 songs by the Grateful Dead while also running his family's cattle ranch. Despite being a freely self-confessed acidhead, he served as a campaign manager for Dick Cheney during his run for Congress in 1978. When he was 42, Barlow became a renowned Internet guru who began vigorously defending the right for all to use it freely by cofounding the Electronic Freedom Foundation in 1990. A brilliant thinker and writer, he has, over the course of the past half century, somehow managed to be at the cutting edge of popular culture. And as impressive as his accomplishments have been, Barlow's dramatic personal life reads like the story of a generation writ large, an "essential, beautifully written book that is full of humor and tragedy and revelation." (Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing ), John Perry Barlow was born into Wyoming ranching royalty and wrote lyrics to thirty songs for the Graeful Dead, but ended up creating yet another legacy for himself as an early Internet pioneer. Among others, he hung out with Andy Warhol, Jerry Garcia, Timothy Leary, John F. Kennedy Jr., Dick Cheney, and Steve Jobs and found something thoughtful to say about all of them. Completed just before his death, Mother American Night is John Perry Barlow's final gift to the world. In it, he takes readers on the long journey by which the counterculture became the culture while also making it plain that learning how to accept love may be the hardest thing we can ever ask of ourselves.
