Are you down to the bare wires?

Oh God no. I really hope this is bogus reporting. And yes, I was in the Army after seeing Kiss in '76..my first show (age 14). Ace was my favorite guy in that band.

I find myself pining for adventures in the somewhat-specific 'Swedish style". Best of luck to you, Mr. Baab, in meeting with my Mid-Western breathren Mr. Jeff. I will drink this Bass Ale in your honor. -

The Hunter S. Thompson Appreciation Thread
mountain bed replied to mountain bed's topic in Tongue-Tied Lightning
Here's one from the good old daze when the TV preachers were finally beginning to be seen for what they were/are: "Oral still needed more. God's price, said Richard on TV, was not just 8 million, but '8 million above & beyond our normal operating expenses'. In other words, God was talking net-- not gross-- and he wanted his 8 big ones in a brown bag by the midnight hour on April Fools Day. And he WILL get his money, there is no doubt at all about that. Oral Roberts is a greed-crazed white trash lunatic who should have been hung upside down from a telephone pole on the outskirts of T -

I know I've mentioned this before (to Lammy & others) that perhaps my single favorite HST article was for a 1994 RS issue. It was also in the book "Better Than Sex", appropriately in Chapter 666 titled "The Death of Richard Nixon". It is the most vicious, mean-spirited piece of journalism you'll ever read...except you will also weep with joy at Hunter's eulogy to the man who was his nemesis, and gave his career a 'focus'. I really can't recommend this article enough. -
I just read this whole thread. All I can say is wow! Jeff & Sue, you are truly an amazing couple. I just want to thank you for doin' what you do! And Judy, that kid of yours...all I can say is it makes me pine for when my daughter was wee (she's 16 now). Absolutely adorable.

Sounds like a great evening, Robert!

It's hard to convey the sadness I felt when I heard the news 2 years ago that HST had shot himself. What Jerry Garcia was to me musically, Hunter was to me in the literary world...someone I felt spoke for me. I know there's fans here.. maybe you all could speak about how HST's work affected you. Although I have been a fan of all the "New Journalism" people ( Burroughs, Mailer, Kerouac, and to a lesser extent Wolfe) Hunter's stuff just resonated with me like no one else. "Fear & Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72" was partially responsible for turning me into a political junkie. It show

God bless you Kate, and Graham too. That just warms my heart. Be careful, but give 'em hell! I'll be thinking of you guys.

"Exile" is a fantastic record. But for me, "Beggar's Banquet" is the one...I really just love every single song on that record. I must have heard "Sympathy for the Devil" thousands of times & when Keef kicks in with that solo it always kills me.
