I’m a bit low just now. It’s not enough that it’s Monday, I just found out that Hunter S. Thompson, famed American “Gonzo” journalist, died over the weekend.
I’m not sure but from the reports I’ve seen it looks like a suicide.
It’s a shame he’s gone. He was one of the world’s greatest counterculture journalists. And the world will seem a darker place now he’s not in it…
If you haven’t ever read any of his work, I’d recommend Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas, The Rum Diaries and Hells Angels. That’s just for starters.
Buy any Thompson, you’ll enjoy it.
