Hunter S. Thompson dead

[Brutha]

I wonder...do you celebrate him as a hero of some sort? Do you think he felt like that, or even wanted to be celebrated like one? Thats probably why he chose to shoot himself....

Shame a man died, but face it...suicides tend to give you a hint about the person who did it, and one can say that rarely has a happy person killed himself/herself.

If anything he was an anti-hero. An example that everyone can be a free-thinking, honest and inventive person. He certainly had a lot of great ideas. I'm better for him having shared them.

If anything he shot himself to choose the time and place of his passing. Like poor old Maude in Harold and Maude he probably just wanted to get while the gettin' was good. Ralph Steadman's site had a lot to say on the subject and i choose to believe as Steadman does; HST was a helluva writer and an Everyman we can all walk beside, if not look up to.

The king is dead. Long live the king.
