Saturday, August 22, 2009 at 5:20PM Hunter S. Thompson
I'm working on a piece about Hunter Thompson that I'm hoping to post on Monday. My favorite book by him is his first published book, "Hell's Angel's." Most people know Hunter Thompson through his work with Rolling Stone and the book "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas." While I liked the book "Fear and Loahing," I feel he painted himself in a corner with it and never really got out again. I also believe he manufactured a lot of his writing and that's what I'm working on for Monday. Anyway, I found this old clip of Hunter Thompson being confronted by one the Hell's Angel's on a show after his book came out. Enjoy!

Can't wait to read your Hunter piece, Marty!!
I drove by the house where he grew up, the other day...
Love this clip, I had never seen it.
speaking of manufactured, this seems a little andy kaufman/jerry lawler to me. who has open motorcycle access to their stage?
p.s. maybe it's because i don't have sound on this computer. luckily, i took massive amounts of acid before logging in!
