A Legend Leaves Us

Feb 21, 2005 02:03

Hunter S. Thompson shot himself in the head today. I've never met the man and I'm sure he was a grade A prick in real life, but I've read and loved four of his books, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is one of my all time favorite movies. So yeah, I guess I am sad about it. Give 'em hell Hunter.

"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'd better take care of me Lord. If you don't, you'll have me on your hands."
- Hunter S. Thompson (1937-2005)
