Hunter S. Thompson: Death of an Icon
He was our last taste of the 60s-70s.
This was no society for Hunter though. A Woman's society under Conservative rule... Hunter hated Nixon... I can imagine he didn't like Bush either. He didn't have much to live for other than the teenagers who liked Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas, the movie. To me, that's a shitty feeling. The new generation doesn't like you, they like the movie you played a the role of your future self... while your book is left sitting in a pile of dust for those who did buy the book.. while the DVD remains in the DVD player. He was a journalist... and he'll be remembered by kids as the writer of that funny movie all about drugs...
I've never gotten a chance to do acid, or trip reguardless. I feel as if I've missed my chance. The recent deaths of Jerry Garcia, Tim Leary, Ken Kesey, now Thompson... Whether or not I venture into the world of psychadelics, it will never mean the same thing as if I were to have done it before a few of these deaths.
Who do we have left?PurplePotatoes Reviewed by PurplePotatoes on . Hunter S. Thompson: Death of an Icon Death of an Icon Hunter Thompson??s death touched me, hard. I remember John F Kennedy??s death, and Bobby??s and Malcom??s, and each of those deaths made a difference to me. Jimmi, Janis, they all touched me somehow. And Hunter kept going. Through him the sixties energy, that take ??the wall by storm? attitude continued. And yes, I was hurt when I heard it was suicide. But I??ve had a day or two to think about it. Yes. I have had my years of drug abuse, the massive cocaine Rating: 5
