Default Hunter S. Thompson, Gonzo writer.

Anybody out there follow Hunter Thompson's work and life? I just finished reading several articles in Rolling Stone magazine about this Guy. He represented many of our alter egos...sex, drugs, guns and the balls to tell it like he saw it!

Suicide at 67. A real action figure in Technocolor.

I've read most of his works, but it's been quite a while. Quite an entertaining and thought-provoking writer.

One of my favorite quotes from the late Hunter S. Thompson...

"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro"

His breakfast was usually alone and consisted of eggs, slab of sausage, side of bacon, orange juice, glass of milk, six pack of bass ale, hash browns, two or three newspapers, a telephone nearby and six lines of the best cocaine available that day!

The most recent edition of Rolling Stone is dedicated to "Doctor" Thompson. Absolutely hilarious stories and anecdotes.

There was a lot of Hunter in all of us "Boomers". The only difference is that he got to do it and get away with it. My how times have changed!

I guess those six lines were what it took to jumpstart his heart after wolfin' down a pound and a half of artery cloggers
