   Who wrote the song Easy Wind?

   • Dead lyricist Robert Hunter wrote it one with Pigpen in mind. Pigpen was a heavy drinker (that's essentially what killed him three years after the release of this album) with a rawer approach to music than the rest of the Dead. He was the man to growl out this song of hard living. There's a confusion of place in "Easy Wind."

   Is Easy Wind a good song?

   • On the rest of the album, as is the trademark of the Dead, even the songs about rough and painful topics are performed with a kind of sing-along sweetness, but "Easy Wind" is the swampy snarl of a hard-living man who makes no apologies. Buried beneath all the gravelly music is a bit of softness, though.

   What is easy wind about?

   • "Easy Wind" is about a workingman building highways, getting drunk, and looking for love and prostitution in early America. It's a song with bad attitude, very unlike the rest of the melodic, mellow Workingman's Dead album.

   What is the meaning of “words are easy like the wind?

   • Words are easy like the wind, faithful friends are hard to find. Status: Unsolved. Maybe Shakespeare? This is a tricky one, as it actually does come from The Passionate Pilgrim, a known Shakespeare source (albeit a less commonly cited one). So at first glance you could easily make the case that this is a Shakespeare quote.

   Live five years if I take my time. Ballin' that jack and a drinkin' my wine. I been chippin' them rocks from dawn till doom. While my rider hide my bottle in the other room. Doctor say better stop ballin' that jack. If I live five years I gonna bust my back, yes I will. Easy wind cross the Bayou today.
