I think the struggle over OMSN was the straw that broke Hunter's back, and he told Weir to take solo writing credit despite his contributions and famously said "You want him? Take him, he's yours," to Barlow.

1 Victim or the Crime
3. What's the story on Little Star? Never heard it.AKA "Bob Star". It's hardly a song... more like a little ditty that Bob trotted out about 2-3 times coming out of Space in the summer(spring?) of '83. 6/20/83 is one of them... did they all precede Other One?

I'd actually put it out there as one of the Top 3 Grateful Dead songs ever.The Other One is one of the bands top songs, I always think of it as a collaboration between band members, as to a Bob song though. I've seen it credited so many ways.
