Ah, Owsley "The Bear" Stanley. He also lived on a fatty-meat-only zero-carb diet for some 50 years in decent health until he died in a car accident aged 75 in 2011. Quite the character: http://www.thebear.org



"Kid Charlemagne" by Steely Dan is a nice memorial for the man and the early LSD era:

  Just by chance you crossed the diamond with the pearl,
  You turned it on the world,
  That's when you turned the world around.


nice! I really enjoyed reading this the other day: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owsley_Stanley


He was a genius in more ways than one.
