RIP Bear you will be missed. You did a hell of a lot of good for a hell of a lot of people.
While the music played you worked by candlelight Those San Francisco nights You were the best in town Just by chance you crossed the diamond with the pearl You turned it on the world That's when you turned the world around Did you feel like Jesus Did you realize That you were a champion in their eyes On the hill the stuff was laced with kerosene But yours was kitchen clean Everyone stopped to stare at your technicolor motor home Every A-Frame had your number on the wall You must have had it all
^^^^ Thanks Slartibartfast. I never knew Kid Charlemagne was an homage to Owsley.
He was also a graphic designer, I have seen this work of his occasionally at a festival. Along with the logo, he designed and engineered the "Wall Of Sound" famous GD sound setup which was very revolutionary for it's time.

He also came up with the dancing bear design, is unofficially credited with designing the first PA system for musical performance, studied at Berkley, for a short time he was a Ballet dancer and lived on a vegtable free diet...RIP Bear
He was something else, a true Renaissance man I feel a name change coming on again. Also not to advocate his behavior but as a historical reference from wikipedia.
He dropped out after a semester, took a technical job at KGO-TV, and began producing LSD in a small lab located in the bathroom of a house near campus. His makeshift laboratory was raided by police on February 21, 1965. He beat the charges and successfully sued for the return of his equipment. The police were looking for methamphetamine but found only LSD, which was not illegal at the time
