Steadman is a great cartoonist but his writing is really rather awful as his preening liberalism. I think it is fair to say that the illustrations to F&L did contribute to the success of the original articles and ultimately to the book, and that without them HST might not have had the career acceleration he did.
Steadman is a joke, a parasite. Sure he created some steller artwork for Hunter, but it was never enough for this swine of a man. I met him once in NYC and had a few beers with the man. He thinks there would be no Thompson if not for his work. Thompson grew tired of this lecherous troll stalking him well into the late 80's. Now he actually tries to imitate Thompson during yet another book signing. Give it up Ralph...
I live in Kentucky, I've been to the derby, it's still everything Thompson said, humid, hot, miserable, surrounded by drunken rednecks, it's no fucking fun, even when your drunk.
That's true. I live in Louisville and this city fucking BLOWS. And now the horses are dropping dead in the middle of the race. Whats it going to take to make these fucking idiots learn that this is a stupid tradition, stupider than most, and needs to end.
