I posted just before the Great Crash of 05 that writer Hunter S Thompson had died.

Although i dont condone the use of drugs.... certainly not in amounts that make Ozzie look like a boy scout.
hunter certainly was a good writer.

Hells angels and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas were enjoyable and Fear and Loathing on the Campain Trail was enlightning


Still..... i find this and interesting way to have your ashes disposed of

"US author Hunter S Thompson, who committed suicide last weekend, wanted to exit this world in a style befitting his extraordinary life: being fired from a cannon, a friend revealed today."

it was the bats that finally got to him
in the beginning, the universe was created.
this made alot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.

he wrote "Fear and loathing in Las Vagas"
some people are like slinky's
they have no useful purpose
but they are fun to watch
when you push them down the stairs

Hunter was a man of many talents

He was The Duke in Doosbury
He wrote from
Hells Angels - a live account of the Angels and Sonny?? in 67
Fear and Loathing in Los Angeles - a drug induced road trip
Fear and Loathing on the Campain Trail - Carters Campain
The main/original political writer for Rolling Stone
and a heap of others

A great interview with Nixon after Watergate when he was on the chopter getting kicked out - as long as they talked only about football

His mate was Ralph Steadman - who did drawing for Pink Floyd on the Wall

As well as being a drug induced weirdo he was the grand father of " tell it as it is" jurnolism. Wite it down as it happened - be it riding with the Angels, 10 trips of acid, a war zone or a political situation

Love him or hate him he was influential(sp?)

my bet is ether!

what a loss, I have some of his essays on motorcycling too, well worth the read.

I propose a toast.

To hunter and may all of his experiences live on....
