Hunter S. Thompson, RIP

Posted in Dead Authors at 12:59 am by

Hunter S. Thompson, author of “Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas”, “Fear & Loathing In America”, “Hells Angels”, “The Great Shark Hunt” and many others, has died of a reportedly self-inflicted gunshot wound. Thompson was 67.

I have no proof that Thompson’s suicide was in anyway provoked by viewing Big & Rich’s appearance during halftime of tonight’s NBA All-Star Game, but that would explain an awful lot.

    unlike Sir Charles, I’m no hater of country music. But that sucked on more levels than I can count.

    What exactly does country music on TBS have to do with Thompson’s suicide?Anybody care to explain?

    HST blew himself away on the same Sunday evening that Big & Rich were doing their thing at halftime of the nearby NBA All-Star Game. Hence the post “I have no proof that Thompson’s suicide was in anyway provoked by viewing Big & Rich’s appearance during halftime of tonight’s NBA All-Star Game, but that would explain an awful lot.”

    Perhaps it was just a coincidence, but I saw the halftime show and was seriously considering purchasing a rifle by the time it was over.
