Ya really ought to read the book, though. Especially the part where the attorney is doing the technicolor yawn down the side of the big white caddy -- the great white shark, as HST calls it -- while Raoul Duke blithely keeps some visitors to the national anti-drug convention from getting into the turn-around lane to go to their casino. Heh.

I once went to see HST speak at a movie theater near Boston. He came in and sat down at a table on the stage, opened a bottle of Wild Turkey, lit a cigarette, and then called for questions. Yeah, he got paid for that ... but what I thought was cool was that this woman in the audience asked him, "How come you get to smoke, and we don't?".

"I dunno," he replied. "Come up here and smoke, f'cripesakes!". So she walked up on stage, found a chair, sat down at the table, and just smoked through the whole show.

He offered her some WT, but she declined. "Awright, suit yerself," he slurred.
