Screw all of the people who became fans of Depp after the movies he made after Pirates of the Caribbean. Like this if you've seen What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Ed Wood, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, or even frickin' Edward Scissorhands.

@NumbAsAStatue27 I agree with you here I wish i could have met him. If only for a brief hi how are ya sit back and have a turkey on the rocks and talk about the wicked world full of fiends. DR. Gonzo will be missed but Never forgotten .

I wouldve given anything to know Hunter Thompson. He was a one of a kind genius. It seems he died to early but it was on his terms and its what he wanted so I respect that. Ill never stop learning from the great doctor. Im sure itll be a challenge but RIP Dr. Gonzo

@TheAlternaBarbie Yeah, I understand what you're saying, but I'll voice the unpopular view that his suicide went past the natural limits of personal freedom. Of course, that's maybe what we expect of HST. Still it's a shame. He had so much yet to contribute to his country, not to mention his fans and family (not necessarily in that order). Like Hemingway, he died before his time and seemingly on an impulse. So sad. He made so much sense beneath all his crazy behavior.

@mccheese0 Hunter's suicide wasn't drug addled at the time. He just didn't want to grow old. It is an extraordinary tragedy, but it was what he wanted.

It's fun to listen to Thompson's senseless ramblings. But at length you can't escape the fact that HST proves "the mind is a terrible thing to waste" (or get wasted). What he did to his mind and writing through drugs exceeds what Hemingway did through alcohol. And it took them both to the same end.

If only HST had grown out of the drugs and booze (assuming all the tales are true)? I'm a fan, but his end was is pure tragedy. He should be on the Sunday News shows now, not pushing up daisies.
