“Keep your head up high, stay loyal, remain free, and always value honor,” Barger wrote.

That's rich coming from a guy who spent a good chunk of his life in a gang that for several decades dealt meth, beat up beatniks Black and gay people, and "worked" tightly with the FBI (and probably the CIA).

We all know where he is now..........

I immediately think of the great quote from Charlie in 'Gimme Shelter'....

"Well done, Sonny."

This was my first thought as well.

A Clown in a gang of clowns.
No need to worship those guys in any way.
Turn on the ignore-button.
That’s the one thing they can’t stand.

Can't believe it's been over fifty years since I read Hunter Thompson's book on the Hells Angels. Of course Exile is fifty, Hot Rocks and Sticky Fingers are fifty one. Damn. You know you're old when you wouldn't mind being fifty again.

i would never celebrate the death of anyone

but i can't say this world would be better with him still in it

Was he in any of the Altamont scenes in Gimme Shelter?

Hard to believe he made it to 83

Not sure, but isn't he the one being interviewed on radio, saying "Mick Jagger took us for suckers" or something to that effect?

He was, and Charlie commented, while watching him: 'Well done, Sonny'.

sonny barger is dead:
