Every once in a while I think about this debunked Hunter S. Thompson daily routine and just think that he was definitely doing something close to this which is insane 🤣

Several decades ago I was in the Worcester (MA, USA) public library looking for this book and I couldn't find it where I expected to be so I asked a librarian and she looked it up and said "oh yes, it's in the travel section".

And there it was.

Happy birthday, #HunterSThompson (18 juli 1937 - 20 februari 2005), uitvinder van #gonzo #journalistiek.

#BOTD: Hunter S. Thompson (July 18, 1937 – February 20, 2005) was an American journalist and author whose work formed the basis for the gonzo journalism movement. Infamous for his lifelong use of alcohol and illegal narcotics, his love of firearms, and his iconoclastic contempt for authority, he often remarked: "I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me."

Born this day in 1937, Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. "The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over."

Thought tonight how great it would have been if #HunterSThompson had been in #Miami today. @RollingStone would have been hounding him for copy since the court session ended.

Hunter would delivered brilliance.

#HunterSThompson #Quote

✍️ #HunterSThompson "hated to write" because of the steps between his thoughts and getting them on the page—typing.

HST fans and writers/journalists may find a nugget of something useful in Thompson's 1975 sit-down with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Harrison Salisbury. He went to Hunter S. Thompson's compound @ Owl Farm to interview him at home (26:12).

🎬 #HunterSThompson arrived in Woody Creek, CO in 1969 and was #home; he lived and wrote there for 45 years.

#Aspen was "The Hippie Capital of the World" but the fascists were trying to harsh their buzz and make the town respectable for the rich folks moving in.

In 1970, Hunter ran for Sheriff!

"Fear and Loathing in Aspen" (2021) is a fictionalized account of that time and place—a place now rep'd by #LaurenBoebert. 🙄

I saw Hunter S. Thompson, who was quite a sight
Playgirl centerfolds, wild day and night
In the high-pressure world of celebrity screams
Drugs and alcohol brought people's dreams
My nights of excitement at that talent agency
Have helped shape today's $2B industry
