Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson

[Dillinger4]

A man who can punctuate spot-on political analysis with 'pig fuckers' and 'nazi dogs' is well within my range of an OK bloke.

Mine too.

 

[Dillinger4]

And I think Hunter S Thompson was even more on the ball personally than he could quite express in his writing.

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

don't be daft, his writing is corrosive, he expresses his disquiet with US politics in a direct and dangerous fashion, whether in his books or his letters and memoirs.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with you, I think he is amazing. Truly.

But I always had the feeling there was something that he could never quite express or put quite into words.

Don't ask me to explain that because I don't know how. Just a feeling.

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

[Dillinger4]

Flashdance ACTUALLY.

You can almost understand why he shot himself. Bush jnr elected a-fucking gain?

Pass me the pistol

 

[MightyAphrodite]

Mine too.

And mine. Obviously.

 

[MightyAphrodite]

The lack of well fucking excited posters thanking you for posting this, or even viewing it makes me wonder what's wrong with people.

Maybe not everyone feels the need to piss their pants?

HST was a pretty interesting guy but I'm not spunking frantically at the thought of getting to watch something on the telly. It's just a telly programme

Tbh, Thompson himself would probably do a rolleyes right here....
