Unhappy Hunter S Thompson has passed away!
Quote:
ASPEN, Colo. - Hunter S. Thompson, the acerbic counterculture writer who popularized a new form of fictional journalism in books like “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,” fatally shot himself Sunday night at his home, his son said. He was 67.

Sad, sad news

RIP Mr. Thompson.

I never read anything from Thompson but I love the movie from Fear and Loathing in LV so I have huge respect for him. RIP.

Not that I necessarily disagree, but what an odd reason to have respect for someone.

I was watching the news on my phone when it came in as breaking news. I was very shocked. Very very sad too, he was one of my favourite authors.
RIP Hunter

Thompson / John Raitt / Sandra Dee on the same day.

Another celebrity triple play.
