Hunter S. Thompson

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-­=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-­=-=-=-=-=-=-=

So sad, Johnny Derp's frat boy take on HST is all most know abut the man.

[felixq78]

The only great thing about people such as Ginsberg or Thomson or Dylan is that they wrote what we already knew but had forgotten.

[KIDAmnesiacBends]

i understand everything he said

[UnionKid15]

awesome thanks for posting this.

[DoctorLawyerWhatever]

Interesting writer, worst speaker I've ever heard. Pointless.

[mudprimitive]

@DoctorLawyerWhatever - random youtube guy labels Hunter S. Thompson as worst speaker ever and declares video of counter-culture hero, cherished by millions worldwide, as pointless. Got it.

[DoctorLawyerWhatever]

@mudprimitive Just got in, and I'm clearing things out. All I can say is, a hundred-million sperm, and you're the one that got through. Your parents must know grief more than most.

[TheMerlinOfAR]

Did they have to edit 20 minutes of nonsense to get these 24 seconds of coherent thought?

[trenchrun]

HST became a burned out shell of a once great man....the world finally crushed his spirit. rip: HST, AG, WSB.

[topboss]

Was that English he was speaking?

[killyourego1983]

@topboss that was GONZO speaking !get it.!

[Zardoz151]

Fuck!

I can't understand what he says.

[poleeveras]

@Zardoz151 Me too aheehuahue :)

[killyourego1983]

@Zardoz151 that is becouse you dont know Hunter.

[Punbaba1]

Why is hunter dead?

Google : Hunter Thompson Franklin coverup

[Humboldt1425]

hunter s. is the baddest mother to ever live

[thenewrapstyle]

nice kid

[shamannofthedead]

lol his cigarette

[Flea817]

I actually have no problem understanding Thompson in most interviews.

I think that honestly he might be on something that slurs his speech sometimes. It could just be the alcohol.

[Xersi]

@Flea817 lol he said that he dipped his ice cubes in chlorophyll

[Flea817]

As a joke in an interview one time, because he dropped some ice cubes from his drink on the grass.

I hope you didn't think he was serious.

[Xersi]

@Flea817 Oh no But i just saying lol But i understand him perfectly fine.

[jimppqq]

you used something like soundsoap to filter the background noise, and the result is, he's talking noises now.

[mkevinm]

bill murray played a reall good hst,where the buffalo roam,....peace...m____

[babyeater999]

The myth has taken over.

[D0nCab]

thank god hunter put his thoughts into writing because i can never understand a damn thing he says.

[LeopoldSampsonite]

hahahahahahaha. so true.

[lazaris11]

He said "... To all of us. I recognized the Beat Generation. I was always wonderful to run into people like Allen. I always loved to see him, I loved Allen. He was special. "

[whadupbratha]

@D0nCab hahahahahh thats exactly what i was thinking while watching this LOL :P he's a great man no doubt but all those drugs clearly fucked up his ability to speak proper. LOL :P

[Maesloable]

@D0nCab

Amen to that.

[5447whatsmynumber]

@D0nCab holy toledo, how this made laugh. You're SO right.

[thecrazyneverdie1]

quote by HST... "some may never live but the crazy never die" Long live both these masterminds

[ripvain]

R.I.P. If it's of an revelance, which I'm sure it's not, Transmetropolitan's Spider Jerusalem is exactly like what I'd imagine Hunter would be like if he was born in the future.

[Ghawdxi]

It's a well-known fact that the Spider Jerusalem character was based on Thompson, as was Uncle Duke from Doonesbury.

[luv2bud]

He didn't speak very clearly did he? Was he wasted again?

[Caviezel7]

thanx allen g. this was a great waste of time... could have spent it learning the trees and what not.

[TheDomavoy]

I'll say this. Of all the things Hunter could have accomplished, a great number of his works were either never finished or never published. Prince Jellyfish, The Night Manager, Polo is My Life, The Joint Chiefs, The Gun Lobby...

[thewillnow]

afrikaaner, are you retarded? old Nixon newsreels? Do you think Nixon was prominent in like 1908?

[hairysuit]

can anyone direct me to footage of an older hunter? one that isnt so short...

[Swigzabrewski]

glathat...ur birth was a waste of time

[hollysblue3]

Anyone else think he doesn't look quite real in this? I mean, very seldom did Dr.Thompson ever look Real, but he appears especially unearthly in this clip... what a beautiful man.

[glathat]

that was of no use to nobody. A piece of nothing, why post it all together??

Stupid waste of time!! Get rid of it.

[afrikaaner999]

to holtaprid....well, just so long as the babysitter didn't use old Nixon videos to do it.

[billyfever]

what's the point of 23 seconds - why not just post a still photo, who gave this 5 stars...

[afrikaaner999]

I have spent some time reading Hunter Thompson's writings, and I believe that some of you supporting him have allowed yourselves to be mesmerised by some world-class drivel. For example, he decided to ridicule electricity (?), writing "electricity is lazy", meandering as it does along its own arbitrary paths. His only saving virute from my viewpoint is his characterisation of Nixon as the emobdment of all evil.

[Slapnutzmalone]

Thank Ja nobody cares what you think.

He invented a genre of journalism, dick. Your view of virtue can go fuck itself. Create something totally different and then take pot shots at legends.

Your research has fallen short of thorough and taken up the specific classification of nitpicking. Of all the mad ground he has claimed, you choose electricity? HA!

Arbitrary? Because you fail to see the reason doesn't mean the reason is nonexistent. The shortcoming isn't Dr. Thompson's...it's yours.

[TheDomavoy]

Thank Ja? What the fuck are you, a roadie for POD???

[iminthestatic]

HAHAHAHA

[afrikaaner999]

Hunter Thompson was probably violently seduced by a transgender babysitter at the age of 5. Either that or his parents made him watch old Nixon newsreels while in pre-school.

[SisterRay73]

What the fuck is wrong with you?

[holtaprid]

I wouldn't mind being seduced by a transgender babysitter.

[Slapnutzmalone]

Don't take your childhood nightmares out on Hunter, young lady! Your rape wasn't your fault, just keep telling yourself that even though we both know it was. You asked for it, Bitch!

[salemrush]

HST smokes one cigarette for every breath

[muttilo]

Sweet !

[brooks999]

hah gotta learn how to speak gonzo

[pies9393]

i can never understand what Hunter is saying...

[onlywordsiknow]

hahaha neither can i

[bpyrad]

ginz

somewhere near that hydrogen jukebox

somewhere, racketing towards somewhere better...exalted...in grandfather night

somewhere

where bloody pen on page writes the damned truth

where somewhere prose becomes electric

where poetry becomes static-explosive

bursts as a vision

rolls as a shockwave

that is a gynz moment

[sk9utube]

I doubt that Hunter S. Thompson always liked Allen Ginsberg. He didn't always get along with queers very well according to E. Jean Carroll's biography of Hunter.

[BlindDogDylan]

btw that bottom posted was directed to Alfrunk.

[schwipschwap]

you are all fucking stupid.

[bluelarryaltimer]

can't we all just get along you fucking assholes

[distressed7]

No, you are.

[Kullg4r]

Shut up you little girl. If you don't have the balls to type swear words properly then don't spout your ridiculous bullshit.

[girlwithgunz]

Hunter has more grace, originality and wit than most writers because he was defiant first, and "devious" second...or, rather, deviousness is something born out of those who possess a free spirit. He chose how to live and when to die, and you can't get more independent than that!!! His unparalleled vices saved him from oblivion.

[Alfrunk]

Ummm no, he was an overated hack. He offed himself because he wanted to be like Hemingway. Get off the bandwagon.

[Plotinus2112]

Yet you still came to his video, clicked on it and spent time listening to what the man had to say. And then commented on it.

[BlindDogDylan]

you are the stupidest fucking person i've ever heard write a comment on youtube.. pay the good doctor his respects.. and if you dont like him why be so trivial as to come on here and try to slander him. i hope your life isnt as pathetic as to have nothing better to do with your life then criticize a mans work. if you could write anything nearly even a percentage as prolific and genius as Hunter S. Thompson please post it so we can see what you have to say. you fuckin swine.

[BlindDogDylan]

lol Alfrunk you are a sad and amusing person. there's a fine line between criticism and just blatently talking shit on someone and the comment you wrote was just talking shit.

[Alfrunk]

Ummm if you say so. If you can't refute what I say, just be quiet. You'll be less likely to embarrass yourself (further).

[cruciotheworld]

and you would know this how? don't knock the fans, man. everyone has different tastes.

[Joey11201]

Alfrunk. Please show a little respect. Whether or not you like Thompson, he was a very influential and talented writer. It's never ok to make fun of someone's suicide, either.

[ssalemi]

Well, I love Hunter but this isn't much

[nodestudio]

I don't know, sometimes I write a page or two then after a couple of hours I end up committing to one sentence or I change the thought entirely. Maybe the question's too obtuse.

[ssalemi]

I don't mind "few words," but I'd say the fewer the words, the more meaningful and descriptive they should be! Saying Alan is "special" is something Britney Spears could have managed! But I love Hunter don't get me wrong, he rocks, and he paid his dues and then some. I was commenting more on the video itself than the man.

[aperisimo]

good
