The King of Gonzo! - Dead at 67

Dr. Hunter S. Thompson has died. Apparent Suicide.

Denver Post

I'm pretty surprised how upset I am about this. His world view and mine are quite different. I can honestly say that Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Gonzo Papers, and The Fear and Loathing Letters all had an effect on HOW I look at the world, even if I don't agree with alot of what HST saw himself.

Questioning oneself, and your relational perspective is always just as important as what you're actually observing.

Rest in peace you magnificent bastard.
