I Doubt He'll Be Resting, Wherever He Is

There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

You better take care of me Lord, if you don't you're gonna have me on your hands.

NY Times: Hunter S. Thompson, 65, Author, Commits Suicide

BBC: Obituary: Hunter S Thompson

Denver Post: Hunter S. Thompson shoots self in head

Dr. Thompson's ESPN archive

While I cannot say I was a fan of his politics (I thought he was in decline two years ago), I can say his style never failed to entertain and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas remains one of my favorite movies.

UPDATE 2/22/2005 4:20pm
Last night, we sat down to watch Where the Buffalo Roam. Started off shaky (it was impossible to not compare this to FALILV), but it really cemented the Thompson persona. Bill Murray did a great job. We were definitely surprised to see Peter Boyle as Thompson's attorney. I wish I'd seen the movie earlier.

I'm reading The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved right now and loving it.
