Danny Wolf

Danny Wolf and the Wolf's Den Tattoo Parlor back in 1984 - I owe this man alot, It was his doings that got me into the business of tattooing , I first met Danny when I was around 15 years old when he was tattooing a friend of mine Nicky Malone, 3 years later Danny tattooed me in this shop. The Wolfs Den was the greatest tattoo shop . With nothing but smoked out old flash on the wall and bikes parked outside it was almost intimating to walk inside. I'll never forget the day I asked Danny if I could just hold one of his tattoo machines, He laughed and said something like "I dont give a fuck" Well thats where it all started for me. I have mad respect for this man and I let him know it everytime I see him by simply saying "Thanks Dan for getting me into this shit! "

A day with English Don

Yesterday Panhead Rick and myself took off early morning in the 25 degree spring weather of New Jersey, heading out to ride with legendary English Don. We met up at the Palace diner in Flushing NY right off the Long Island express way. To my surprise the first person i ran into was Andy Hoffer, its always great to see Andy. Don arrived , gave us all our marching orders and then we rode. The first stop was to see Paul Cox and his shop. What a cool place full of motorcycles and art. Thanks to Paul for welcoming us in! Next stop was Indian Larry motorcycles, a shop full of reminders of the legendary Larry himself. Then it was off to Buckleys Bar in Long Island! great time!! and thanks English Don for the invite. It was cold as balls but we were still on two wheels

Owsley "Bear" Stanley Dies in Car Accident

Longtime Grateful Dead confidant Owsley “Bear” Stanley died in a car crash near his home in Australia earlier today. Though his exact age was not known, Stanley was believed to be 75.

Stanley first met the members of the Grateful Dead at an acid test in San Francisco in 1966. He held many roles in the band’s organization over the years, including manager, financier, sound designer and recording engineer. He designed the group’s signature Wall of Sound system and co-designed its iconic lightning bolt/skull logo with artist Bob Thomas. Though Stanley and Thomas originally created the logo in 1969, the insignia first entered the public consciousness when it appeared on the band’s 1973 live album History of the Grateful Dead, Volume 1: Bear’s Choice, a tribute to the recently deceased Grateful Dead keyboardist/vocalist Ron “Pigpen” McKernan. The album also popularized another Dead logo inspired by Stanley: the psychedelic dancing bear. The dancing part of the logo’s design is a reference to his brief stint as a professional ballet dancer in the ’50s and members of Stanley’s family coined his Bear part of his nickname when he started growing body hair at a young age.
