Kid, anyone who's jacked up on drugs is gonna adore "fear and loathing. "35 - half way there." Yeah, well wrong again old Gonzo Guy. I wasn't 35 yet when I read that and I doubt if you'd even been born. Punk, you don't even have the TIME to throw more paranoid social/political animosity at me than I've ever seen in my lifetime.
Frankly, who gives a damn what Hunter S Thompson's state of mind was when he died? He's still dead.
It takes guts to be an old person and take on the young gang bangers. You wanna make a hero out of someone who took the easy way out, be my guest. But don't expect me to lay awake nights wondering what the wussie-boys in your generation might be up to. I'm old and need my sleep.
