Just found out that Owsley died today in a car accident near his home in n Australia.
I was just reading some of his essays this morning.
RIP Bear...

I loved the man, his essay on psychedelics is most astute.
I met him once in the 70s and corresponded a tiny bit.
He was pretty sad about what happened to the Dead, said that it went south when they stopped taking acid and playing together.

wave on, wave on...
I also recieved a few portions of his handiwork... Had an impact that is still echoing ... One of the countercultural icons... Dance bear, dance...
Ain't nothing like the real thing......
