<P> While on his way to California to reunite with the Grateful Dead in 1971, he stopped at his family's ranch, though had not intended to stay . His father had suffered a debilitating stroke in 1966 before dying in 1972, resulting in a $700,000 business debt . Barlow ended up changing his plans, and began practicing animal husbandry under the auspices of the Bar Cross Land and Livestock Company in Cora, Wyoming, for almost two decades . In the meantime, Barlow was still able to play an active role in the Grateful Dead while recruiting many unconventional part - time ranch hands from the mainstream as well as the counterculture . John Byrne Cooke was producing a film (with the working title The Bar Cross Ranch) that documents this era . </P> <P> Barlow became interested in collaborating with Weir at a Grateful Dead show at the Capitol Theater in Port Chester, New York, in February 1971 . Until then, Weir had mostly worked with resident Dead lyricist Robert Hunter . Hunter preferred that those who sang his songs stick to his "canonical" lyrics rather than improvising additions or rearranging words . A feud erupted backstage over a couplet in "Sugar Magnolia" from the band's most recent release (most likely "She can dance a Cajun rhythm / Jump like a Willys in four - wheel drive"), culminating in a disgruntled Hunter summoning Barlow and telling him "take (Weir)--he's yours". </P> <P> In late 1971, with a deal for a solo album in hand and only two songs completed, Weir and Barlow began to write together for the first time . They co-wrote such songs such as "Cassidy", "Mexicali Blues" and "Black - Throated Wind", all three of which would remain in the repertoires of the Grateful Dead and of Weir's varied solo projects . Barlow subsequently collaborated with Grateful Dead keyboardist Brent Mydland, a partnership that culminated in four songs on 1989's Built to Last . He also wrote one song ("The Devil I Know") with Vince Welnick . </P> <P> In 1986, Barlow joined The WELL, an online community then known for a strong Deadhead presence . He served on the company's board of directors for several years . In 1990, Barlow founded the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) along with fellow digital - rights activists John Gilmore and Mitch Kapor . </P>
