I've Got the Fear

Not even a month after one of my people dies, another has fallen. This time, it seems, death came by his own hand. That hand belonging to Hunter S. Thompson. Much like Carson, Thompson was one of the few that I wished to sit down and pick the brain of. Just to hear about all of his life experiences would have been amazing for me. All of the different countries he lived in and spending time with the Hell's Angels. The man was incredible. And most important of all, his impact on writing. Before I knew about Thompson the word "gonzo" roughly meant to me a odd, indescribable muppet that had a chicken fetish.
I should just stop now before I start making sense. So I'm just going to finish with this: Bush lead him to this.
