Hunter's Statement

Uncle John's Blog quotes Robert Hunter concerning the Archive/Download issue:

The more I learn the more there is to know about this remarkable public
relations meltdown. All you saw was the mushroom cloud. My best hope is that by
the time its reported in this Sunday’s NY Times’ entertainment section it will
be ancient history.

Previously, the New York Times reported:

Mr. Barlow said the band's other primary lyricist, Robert Hunter, did
not wish to get involved in the public debate but supported his position. But
the lyricists are not full voting members of the band, and given the apparent
3-1 split among the four surviving performing members in favor of disallowing
the downloads, Mr. Barlow said he was not sure how the issue would play
out.
