The king is dead.

Hunter S Thompson RIP

One of the few reasons I\'ve never given up totally on the USA and Americans.

He wasn\'t just fear and loathing.

Running for Mayor on a ticket that involved running all corporate greedheads out of town and turfing over all the roads in Aspen.

Suppose it takes a brave man to blow your brains out,waste of a talent. think I\'ve got his book Hell\'s Angels some where canny read

 

[mark]

The man was a shining light, not just fear and loathing in las Vegas but read fear and loathing on the campaign trail in \'72. managed to get himself on the podium next to Nixon wherupon, he unzipped his jacket to reveal his T shirt with the word C U N T on it. that takes class and determination. the great shark hunt is inspired.

drank at least 1 bottle of Chivas Regal every day.

Michael Moore is the nearest we\'ve got in te US to hunter, he just needs to drink more and loosen up a bit

Drinkin\' Wild Turkey John, Sniffing raw ether and putting rockets up the arse of conservative America whilst gazing at me peacocks and polishing me guns.

Hells Angels Alan, Superb.

He writ a lot more than that though.

He was no spring chicken, I\'m sure I read something about his prostrate (?) ages ago. there\'s been one report that said he\'d been suffering from a broken leg and decided the best way to get rid of the pain was to blow his head off (Not arguing with the concept like). If it was his arse cancer then all due respect to him for choosing his time and place. Another report says that he phoned his son and said \"When I die I want my ashes shot out of a cannon\" put the phone down and topped himself (more bollocks). The best thing about his death is more peole will pick up his books.

John, comments like that really cut deep especially when you know all about what the children are going through at the minute.
