For those of us old enough to remember/know (they say if you can remember the 60's you weren't there . . . but I remember)

Gonzo journalism takes a hit:

CNN reports the Hunter S. Thompson shot himself.

No more big hairy bats!

bummer

 

what?

 

huh, what, who? im lost like a virgin at mardi gras....

 

Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas?

Zen & the Art of Motorcycle Maintanance?

Anyone, Anyone?

What do kids read today? Do they read or is it all MTV and Playstation?

 

i havent read a book other then the bible since 6th grade:-p

 

Is it really for the worst that kids don`t read Hunter Thompson

 

zen and the art of motorcycle maintance was written by richard pirsig (i think thats the spelling anyway).

is there a tie between hunter and pirsig?

 

You're right Billy. It was Pirsig who wrote Zen. My mistake.

I knew I shouldn't have done this while reading it.

 

that might help understand the zen book a little better.

i read that a few times, (enjoyed it alot) also tried to read 'lila' by pirsig.

tried 2 or 3 times with lila, and got lost each time. that book and i just dont do well together.

 

Exactly!



I guess the drugs weren't expanding his mind fast enough. He had to resort to firearms for enlightenment.

 

I really dont remember him, probly a little too young.
But there was a big article in our paper today.
Since he was raised here in Louisville, Ky. It was on the front page and also an in depth article in the Metro section as well.

Later.........
