Special Interview - Starfinder, Son of Legendary Owsley Stanley

SPECIAL INTERVIEW - Starfinder Stanley, son of renowned sound engineer and psychedelic king Owsley "Bear" Stanley, interviewed on KZFR next week!

“I’m the second oldest son, but the one that thought the most like him,” says Starfinder, who was born while his father was in prison for drugs. He was raised by his mother, the former Rhoney Gissen, now a holistic orthodontist in Woodstock, N.Y. Starfinder has degrees from Cornell University and the University of Pennsylvania. “Bear called me his satellite brain,” he says. “That was a high compliment from him.” read more here
