RIP Hunter S Thompson
The original "Gonzo" journalist, Hunter S. Thompson, died yesterday in Colorado in an apparent suicide. He wrote the drug-laden novel, "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and was Johnny Depp's inspiration for his character in the film version of the novel. What can I say? Not much, really, because I bet only three of the people who actually read this have ever even heard of Hunter Thompson. Oh well. Here's to you, buddy.

Well, I guess I'm one of those three people then. :) Sidenote for the other two people: Johnny Depp will be playing Paul Kemp in another Thompson novel adaptation: "The Rum Diary". It will be directed by Benicio Del Toro - who was Dr.Gonzo in the film version of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas".
