  • There's a picture floating around of those three plus the blow-up doll in a car in LA. It is the best picture taken in human history.

  • The useless banterings of a rhetorician hard at work, or valuable assets to a society that begs for wordsmithing? What, indeed, do we believe to be the true definition of the American Dream? Perhaps I have the answers, perhaps not. Either way, this topic is opened for discussion in my new video.

  • Hunter was a world all his own, and he made literary leaps that some wouldn't make. He wasn't afraid to write what he wanted, and for that I praise his work. He was a amazing man.

    And so what if he experimented with drugs and the like? He was his own being and therefore capable of making choices all for himself.

  • besides, EVERYONE was taking drugs back then and many still are. Hell, tylenol`s a drug, so`s alcohol. Some just make you feel better and are better for you...like LSD

  • @ bsktcse2009

    The man was a literacy genius, pretty much any music hero you have who's from the latter 20th contrary wrote it on drugs, peoples, even the elder literary masters such as Charles Dickens smoked opium, what have you accomplished in your life compared to Hunter? the many nearly became the mayor of Aspen for Christ's sake!

  • I'm gonna go pull the croissant fucks now.

    I say stuff like that 'cause I have free will and I avoid rules whenever possible. But inevitably, to communicate with any coherency requires adherence to rules, like it or not. I can stay stuff like "I'm gonna go pull the croissant fucks now" but I sure as heck don't hoist the expectation of a response to it on someone else.

  • you pepl are so terrible

    your misjudgements are useless and wrong

    not clever or observant he was not acting

    he was always in the present moment a real

    person and so what if i get high or

    have some libations?

    what is life to you? is it judging how

    someone else may want to live theirs?

    get real.for the sake of humanity

  • fucking hell you all know him so well on here eh? do you all sit around thinking oooh i bet we would have been friends? because shit most people if they met someone like HST would jump the fuck out the way as he drunkly barged passed you yelling you would give a disaproving look and go, whos that?

  • Beating a doll in the street. Awesome. Kind of like wailing on a fish while standing on the bow of a boat in "Curse of LONO"

    Theo80126 3 years ago

  • It makes me sad that he felt pushed to perform; to be wild,drunk,high,etc...But his candor is sad and heartwarming at the same time.I'd hate to say he was putting on a show, but one thing you can count on is that he knew it,and did it for us even though he repulsed himself sometimes

    makeutap77 3 years ago 3

  • Its hard to be sad about his passing because he wanted to exit this world in the fashion that he did. He's no longer in pain and he lived a better/crazier life than most ever will. He's a legend and he ALWAYS will be. On top of that he coined a word in the Oxford dictionary. Gonzo

  • great interview.

    for all the hunter fans i just posted a 14 part audio lecture from 1991 on my page. it is entertaining and runs a little over an hour. so if you are interested check it out.

  • Wasn't John Cusack orginally cast to play Hunter before Gilliam got involved in the movie?

    TheStrangestDream 3 years ago

  • dont know, but cusack's impression of thompson is genius! he'd be great as a thrid versian of hunter in a film, although depp and deltoro have been in production for rum diary for sometime now.

    jimthefin 4 years ago

  • Hunter is one of those guys that from an early age just made up his mind.

    "Fuck it, why not."

    He knew what was coming and he knew that it wouldnt be the same as it always was.

    "Live as much as you can, cause there aint much else worth worrying about!"

  • @BHP176 Any asshole can do that, in fact most do. The thing that made Hunter unique is that while doing so, he didn't lose sight of the bigger gears that kept turning in the background.

  • hunter s thompson was a god and his books and movies were just little windows into the madness that was his life we were lucky at all that he allowed us into his head

  • love his story about "Ling-Ling" the blow up doll. TOO funny, SO classic Hunter S. Thompson too... :sigh: Kewl though that he and Johnny Depp both went out to get Hunter - didn't know the 2 were tight as well.. :)

    pixl8edkat 4 years ago

  • Heh, Ling-Ling...that's where he got that part in "Death of a Poet" from, I guess, with that character, F.X. Leach--who was also in "Fear and Loathing in Elko", interestingly enough.

  • Also, where did this come about that Hunter was a trust fund baby? The man was in debt far above his head for the greater part of his life. Yes, he was crazy but didn't Bukowski say, "Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead." It's too bad that having Thompson for a hero also involves puting up with those that have only seen Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas....

    badgeeater 4 years ago

  • I'm really glad to see TRUE Thompson fans in these ranks. Idiots and fools make the direct connection between drugs and Thompson because the Las Vegas story is all they care to pay attention to for the sheer pop culture value of the story. If you haven't read any of the gonzo papers, then you are forbidden to share any knowledge on Thompson, for you have none. And second, STOP writing RIP Hunter. If anyone rests in peace, it is surely NOT the Prince of Gonzo.

    megstubetops 4 years ago

  • You get the impression that Hunter was nothing more than a drugged out neurotic that desperate baby boomers just loved to pretend was a "genius", but was a completely scrambled trust fund baby.

    mowriter 4 years ago

  • Hunter was certainly drugged out, definitely neurotic, but when he was at the top of his game, he could write circles around just about any other American author of the latter half of the 20th century.

    cacrow 4 years ago 2

  • Trust fund? And if you believe Thompson was, as you put it "nothing more than a drugged out neurotic" then you fell for it. Apparently you've only read FaLiLV, there's an entire body of work you negate with that comment.

    Typical

    rockbag 4 years ago

  • Hunter was by no means a "trust fund baby" It you read any of his letters, especially in the early days twhen he was writing F&L in LV, he was in constant need of money and had to beg to get much of his earnings from various articles that he wrote. He was indeed a disturbed, genius. and there are few like him. RIP HST.

    matt86es 4 years ago

  • He wasn't a "trust fund baby"...read a fucking biography of him....and why don't you try reading some of his actual writing while you're at it

  • When I watch a Plisetskaya dance or an Olivier scene, I realize how trite modern Hollywood and its partner the lackey, lapdog media are. These people are vacuous tools. A single great book of Western Civilization has probably escaped their consideration, but naval gazing miens encircled by marijuana smoke is their nirvana. Assholes.
