Hunter S. Thompson R.I.P.

Not the best article to send the man off, but at least some of the facts are there.
What can I say about HST? He was a hero of mine, without a doubt. I devoured his words like they were gospel. He was the epitome of the genre of writing that he himself created~ "Gonzo Journalism". He was a revolutionary, a nutcase, a drug-crazed loon, and a brilliant man. His words were fire and he brought them to the masses like a combination of Prometheus and Dionysis.
He wrote the truth, even when they were lies.
So long Raoul Duke! Give my regards to Lazlow!
