When folk artist Howard Finster of Summerville, Georgia made a splash during the 1980’s, he covered the bases of American pop culture at that time - including on the cover of “Rolling Stone.” The photo of him from that cover is on the poster for this year’s Finster Fest - this Saturday and Sunday at Howard Finster’s Paradise Garden in Summerville.
