#81 GONZO

20 July 2008

Saw the Dr. Hunter S. Thompson docu and thought it was a good time to lay him down in here. Probably a little early, but with the movie release and the election coming up… seems like no better time. The ultimate beacon of truth without all the facts. He helped create a wave of pessimism amongst America’s youth coming off Camelot and paved the way for protesting and progressive thinking. What the Beatles and later Sex Pistols did for non-musicians to become superstars, Thompson did for non-traditional writers and anti-establishment reporting.
