some day you will all understand it was not a sad day in his life.

neither movie can do justice to that great book.

though it helps to have been been playing with similar fire at the time it was written.
no one could match his excesses.

The Last Article Dr. Thompson Wrote for Rolling Stone.

Maybe some clues as to why he left ...

Conspiracy theories, anyone?

Could Ray's comment be a reference to some sort of illness? Lord knows the chap had plenty of risk factors.

I remember him giving an "interview" to Conan O'Brien once. The condition was it was at his ranch, and Conan had to participate in drinking heavily and firing large guns.

Several years earlier when it was still Letterman's show, he did an interview with Dave in a hotel room they were shooting the show in. I think he had a case of scotch with him.

I guess at 67 he figured he was done. Rest in Peace Hunter, I don't think you got much rest when you were alive.
