Psychedelic Women: Smuggler Family Album Ep 5: The True Saga of Goldfinger PART 2

What do you call a deranged smuggler who asks you to stash a brick of gold under your pillow for 6 months?  A friend or an acquaintance?  Rainbow Valentine’s mom’s art patron, Goldfinger, was a one-handed smuggler who regularly moved thousands of pounds of hashish from Lebanon to the US before being busted by the CIA, which only turned him into a fugitive. Goldfinger was a bigger-than-life real outlaw in the SF counterculture scene of the 1960’s and 70’s...but then he disappeared in the 1980’s; everyone assumed he was dead but none of the psychedelic pioneers knew how he died. The second part of the saga of Goldfinger reveals brand new, never-before-heard information about the notorious, one-handed, counterculture smuggler, including details on his outlaw life in Europe, how he died and the major secret he kept from everyone in the SF counterculture scene; never revealed… until this episode.
