Legendary Hippie Dies

“Owsley Stanley, an icon of Bay Area counterculture in the 1960s and a longtime associate of the Grateful Dead, died Sunday in a car accident in his adopted home of Queensland, Australia…. Known as ‘Bear,’ Mr. Stanley came to prominence as the first to manufacture LSD in quantity.” And also: “Mr. Stanley lived on an all-meat and dairy diet. He believed vegetables were toxic and blamed a heart attack several years ago on the broccoli his mother made him eat as a child.” Stanley was 76.
