HUNTER S. THOMPSON SAID: "For every letter here, there are 12 or 15 let out. But I had to listen to these things for a year. The editor Doug Brinkley & my son & his wife parading these things in front of me. Started saying: 'Well, how bout this one, Hunter. Calm down.' And then: Who is this? Who is that? So I had to rake my memories."

  • I've read the late Mr Thompson, and i even wrote him once, asking for an autograph, in 1982. And he wrote back. Not some form letter, either, a real handwritten letter-i still have it. And anybody who's seen his scrawl in Steadman's paintings would recognize who wrote the short, friendly letter he sent back. HST was a wonderfully complex, brilliant, and genuinely hazardous person, but a true Kentucky gentleman to the end!

  • It is sad and unfortunate that so many do not appreciate the value of a letter.

  • Drugs?

    

  • He had a knack for imagery, but, overall, over-rated. And as far as being interviewed, or being a public speaker, he mumbled his way through every engagement he ever had. Not impressed.
