RIP Hunter S. Thompson

Me acabo de enterar que el Dr. Gonzo, Hunter S. Thompson, escritor de los libros clásicos de la contracultura y del nuevo periodismo "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" y "Fear and Loathin in the Campaign Trail" se suicidó hoy a los 67 años.

Citas favoitas de Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas:
»We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like "I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive...." And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas. And a voice was screaming: "Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?"

»Bazooko's Circus is what the world would be doing every Saturday night if the Nazis had won the war. This was the Sixth Reich

»What? No. We can't stop here. This is bat country.
