http://www.denverpost.com/Stories/0,1413,36~53~2723492,00.html Hunter S. Thompson shot himself. I think it was interesting the quote on his drug use. After watching Fear and Loathing, I didn't know what to think, other than it was an entertaining movie, it is a Gilliam film after all. I'm sure there may be some people out there who took his drug use seriously. Seemed like I heard a rumor that he was a journalist who traveled with Hells Angels, but then again the older I get the more you have to be careful of what you hear and what you believe in.
