A living legend, Hunter S Thompson took his life yesterday. I never had the chance to meet him and now I never will. In a documentary about him, Hunter designed elaborate plans for his funereal. It will be interesting to see if they follow through with them. That alone would make a trip to Colorado worthwhile. If you don’t know who Hunter S Thompson is, I suggest you read his books. Once you’ve done that, you can watch the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Keep in mind that the movie is not exactly about him. It’s an adaptation of the book he wrote. The story is a combination of his experiences and his wild imagination.
Many don’t know that Hunter was in the Air Force. The story of his last days in the Air Force is priceless. Find his books at the store or library, its well worth the time.
