thats bad news alright. gas that despite his lifestyle he still had to forcibly remove himself. america needs a commentator of his wit and honesty - someone who genuinely doesnt give a fuck and calls it exactly as he sees it in all situations. not sure theres anyone out there remotely qualified to take his place. .|..|

Always thought of his as the bullet in the brain type - didnt seem like he's die of old age. all the same, what an asshole for killing himself.

great lunacy writer though.

Hunter S Thompson's final wish will be granted when his ashes are blasted from a giant cannon in August.

The gun-loving writer will go out with a bang from a cannon mounted inside a 16-metre-high (53ft) sculpture of his trademark "gonzo" fist - a clenched hand on an upthrust forearm with the word gonzo written on it.

"It's expensive, but worth every penny," his wife, Anita Thompson, said. "I'd like to have several explosions. He loved explosions."


WHat a guy!
