My brother turned me on to HST back when I was in college and I went to see the Gonzo give a lecture at my university. He was doing his whole gonzo journalist schitick back then, with lots of booze onstage. He was acting like his caricature from Doonesbury then, but it was entertaining. Many years later my brother gave me a baseball cap from Thompson's favorite bar in Colorado a few years before Hunter checked out of this life. I still wear it some and it was the best gift I ever got from him.

Hunter S. Johnny Depp kept an expensive promise & had his ashes shot into space.
he was an honest man who couldn't abide the hypocrisy, Bs, lies anymore that his country represented & killed himself.

Actually Eisenhower warned about this in the 50s

Thank you for sharing this, had not heard of him and will look for more of his view.

Pretty sure I read all his novels before I turned 20.
