We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert
So tonight like most nights I went to ESPN.com to see if there was anything about the Death of Hockey. "Hunter S. Thompson fatally shoots self" So I think this must be some kind of twisted joke or tyhe latest colum of Hey Rube must be up and he was commenting on the Death of hockey..but no he really hated hockey so what the fuck. NO! He really shot himself.
I first came across HST when I watched "where the buffalo roam" one day on televsision when I was alot younger. I only watched it because I liked Bill Murray so I thought what the hell. I thought the movie was fabulous and slightly after I found out that the character was actually a real person. The movie was actually sort of based on a book. So I went out and bought the book and the rest was history.
I never got to meet the man himself always wanted to like I meet Neil. I always figured one day I would.
My favorite memories I have is actually I dressed as him for Halloween one year and people actually knew who I was. I walked around teh park screaming and yelling at people. I was acting out of my mind..which is not really different for me anyways. I also was being pursued by a walking talking bat that wouldn;t leave me alone. Oh wait that waa Zombiemom! I have found memories of the night. I will look for pictures to scan of ud.
I guess this is how people felt when Elivs dies. I have never had a celebrity die that I admired so much die. I want to cry but some how I can't.
Of to watch "Where the Buffalo Roam" The one that started it all. Found my copy of Fear and Loathing 72 to read tomorrow. Hope you do the same.
HST --- Blessed Be
