Electronic Frontier Foundation co-founder and Grateful Dead lyricist John Perry Barlow has died.  If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go be doubly devastated for a while.

This is interesting.  Sometimes it matters who says something.  I don't give a damn about The Greatful Dead, and my initial thought was "so what"?

But I noticed that trdsf mentioned it, and it got my attention.  I didn't think I reacted to authors of posts much.  But I just did. 

I still don't care much about 'The Greatful Dead', but who did matterred slightly.
Atheist born, atheist bred.  And when I die, atheist dead!
