Sad news today; Hunter Thompson found it neccessary to commit suicide yesterday. Hunter was one of the most astute political and social commentators of our day regardless or maybe because of his reputaion as a hell raiser. He will be sorely missed.
I was on Bill's web site the other day and it was evident that he had as much regard for Hunter as I do (please read his work) and I mentioned that the last two lines of "Gringo" have always reminded me of Hunter so here they are:
"Red cadillac at sunset slowing down
For another look at that border town"
I wish he would have slowed down and taken one more look and maybe he wouldn't have done what he did yesterday.
Hunter you will be missed.
Peace
