R.I.P: Dr. Gonzo - Hunter S. Thompson

Found in ... Some Kind`a News

This morning on my way into work I was listening to local radio morning hosts Shred and Regan, and while reading the news they let us know of the death of writer Hunter S. Thomson. Aparently Hunter commited suicide by blowing his mushy brains out of the back of his head. For those of you who are familiar with the type of character Dr. Thomson was, he was a bit on the kookie side - and this exit is not so off color for him -. A life of drugs, alcohol and what ever else he could experiment with, a true psychodelic explorer - so needless to say his mind was a little off -. Hunter was also a fan of armory, and it was well known that he kept many loaded guns and other weapons in his house and on his person. So at the age of 64 the inovator of Gonzo Journalism has left us to persue other adventures. He will be missed, and Hunter is you are out there, look out for the bats.

I may be a slacker - a modern day Bill Murray type - but that doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about. I have the type of readers that live the slacker way and plainly enjoy life.

It is sad Buke. Am man I highly admired. Both for his writing and tolerence for hallucinogens. He was a total professional.
