Dr Gonzo leaves us

Hunter S Thompson, a pioneer of modern journalism and a man with a serious bat problem has left the world of the living. He committed suicide in his home yesterday. He will be fondly remembered by me for his crazy book "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and the stupendous film that followed starring Johnny Depp. The link goes to some strange memories and stories about Hunter S Thompson (You might have to watch an ad). Although his work wasn't always accurrate, it certainly was interesting and I recommend you all read fear and loathing and see the movie because they are both equally good in different ways. I wonder what was going through his mind when he killed himself, maybe he was pondering the state of the world day or more likely he was high on another ether bend.

Just remember, there is nothing as depraved as a man on an ether bend!
