STANLEY Owsley (not Stephen) was a brilliant man. Sound engineer, chemist - I had the pleasure meeting him once or twice backstage at Grateful Dead shows.
Was he a kook? You bet. Did he come to Negril? Maybe. But I wouldn't characterize him as a "Negril Character". Nah. More US based and Australia based (where he moved many years ago.)
Now that "rabbit" guy that you are referring to - I know him as well but a different nom du plume. And he did a few more "bad" things than sell a couple of faux Rolex to unsuspecting tourists. (Again, not a Negril character and he left his bad behavior to Northern California)
Know this about "Negril Characters" - if they have a name that begins with "Crazy" they have EARNED it. Each and everytime. Trus' Me.
