When you think about it, biting the loud end of his gun was
about the best way Thompson could have gone. A real Papa kind
of exit. It would be soooo discouraging to have read that he
was found slumped next to the toilet with a needle in his
arm, a la Lenny Bruce.
It's a gonzo curtain call for the best counterculture writer
of our generation. I pulled my dog-eared copy of The Curse of
Lono out of my bookcase this morning after reading the obit
in the paper, to read over again during lunch this
week.
He will be missed... R
