  • I start to tear up a little at 4:19 very rarely did Johnny ever hit notes like that.

    RIP Hunter

  • R.I.P freeman

  • really great puttogether, had it on favs for years

  • He who makes a beast of himself, rids himself of the pain of being a man. ...

  • If you play with fire,

  • One of my favorite HST tributes. Beautiful song and some great snap shots of his life. Growing up in the hills of Kentucky, I can relate to a lot of the frustrations that Hunter experienced as a kid and young adult. When I first read his works and saw the Vegas movie, I couldn't believe that there was someone out there that look at the world in the same light as myself. Unfortunately for the rest of us Outlaws living in this unjust time, our world would never allow another HST to thrive.

  • HST

    i can't explain in words how much respect i had for that man,he was like a cult hero for what he created (gonzo journalism) how he made it.(drink drugs debauchery,insanity).His books where amazing.

    He is a just a god

    it took me about 10 mins to write that and it sounds terrible.

    can't explain what he was to me :P

  • rip johnny cash rip hunter thompson

  • The weird never die... they live on in the minds of those that have ever had the pleasure to hear them, to read them or to meet them... RIP - The good doctor.

  • Yes, Josh Haden sound better. Just a matter opinion. He was on David Letterman last night 12/02/08.

    Cheers,

    vp
