Sonny Barger, the leather-clad fixture of 1960s counterculture and figurehead of the notorious Hells Angels motorcycle club who was at the notorious Rolling Stones concert at Altamont Speedway, has died. He was 83.
But Barger, the unofficial spokesman for the Hells Angels, downplayed their outlaw reputation.
He claimed that one of his most satisfying experiences was his acquittal in 1980 on a count of racketeering, and the declaration of a mistrial on a charge of conspiracy to violate the racketeering law. He started the Hells Angels with friends and soon learned there were other Hells Angels clubs in California. Barger helped unify the clubs.
