We were alright with the passings of Bukowski in 94(?), Burroughs in 97. We will be alright my friends. We will get by.

sometimes the pain in unbearable
and sometimes
ending it with your own hands makes sense when it hurts.
maybe he wanted upstage arthur miller?
or maybe he was tired.
I hope he had a good passing
and let go as he broke through
while ego was dissolved
by the light.
but we all let go
how can we not in the face of ultimate reality?
those who have taken high dosages of psychedelics
are perhaps better prepared to let go.
I know he did just fine.
like a drop of water
returning to the ocean.

This about sums it up for me;
There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

I know of this. I watched a documentary made in the late 70s or early 80s, that talked about it. It's called "On the Road to Hollywood". The giant fist (with 2 thumbs) in the mountains.
You can try and download it from Bearshare http://www.bearshare.com/home/ p2p or something like that. that's where i got it from. I'll put it in sharing. Just type in search "fear and loathing" to find it. It's a BBC documentary.

How can you be sad about a counterculture lunatic shooting himself?
THAT IS HOW IT'S DONE!
He wanted to do it, and that's how you do it if you want to go out like a REAL rock star, you get assassinated, overdose, or blow your throat off with a shot gun.
Hunter S. Thompson gave us the perfect end to his madman legacy.
Praise real heros.

Let's look at this pragmatically - some people who've never heard of Thompson may see the news of his death and wonder 'what's the fuss all about', pick up a book of his and be inspired.
He may be gone but his words will always be around to kick culture up the arse.
