Hunter S. Thompson shooting himself is, I have to say, not what I'd call surprising. Sad sure, but no shocker. I mean no disrespect I swear, but seriously--of all the crazy brilliant madmen in all of the world, he was the LAST person likely to grow old and pass quietly in his sleep. He had to go out the same way he did everything else. Definitively. Loudly.
Still; man.
Posted by Antigeist at February 21, 2005 10:37 AMthere was a time i would have said that about burroughs, though... i was starting to think maybe mr. thompson had been drinking the same embalming fluid and would live to the same freakishly old age, proving along the way that you can get old and still be worth watching. i would have liked that better.
