Sheeeeeeee-it.

According to his son, gonzo journalist and author Hunter S. Thompson shot himself at home Sunday night. He was 67.

As your local mod (of another forum, but whatever), I advise you to read Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. NOW.

I never read it.

What exactly was it about? (I heard it was really odd though)

"There goes one of God's own prototypes...too weird to live, too rare to die."

HST was one of my few true heroes. I suppose this is how normal people felt when JFK or Princess Di or Kurt Cobain died. I want to down a bottle of Wild Turkey and go out and shoot at rocks, I want to howl and rage and cause a crazy righteous shit-fight - fuck them, the god-damn brutal pigs, we are right and good and we will prevail! I won't, but that's the sort of feelings HST stirs. The world has lost one of its purest and most righteous beacons of righteous sanity.

Like thousands or millions of others, I wanted to be like him. Fearless, angry, brilliant, iconic. I think we all secretly thought the mad bastard was immortal. But alas, even warriors have to die.

I've only read Fear and Loathing from him but... *glances at bookshelf* ...I have more choices.

Terrible news. Then again, it didn't surprise me that Hunter would choose to go out like this. Certainly less so than other celebrities.
