The Crazy Never Die
Sep. 12th, 2010 07:53 amI'm not sure if this is the first time this old video has popped up on YouTube, but it made the front page of Disinformation a few weeks ago. I used to love reading up on all the conspiracy theories on that site - and it makes me feel old. It also makes me feel old that my copy of The Crazy Never Die is on VHS. It's easy to forget when the internet was just a novelty and not something ingrained in people's every day lives!

Gonzo News Round-Up
Jul. 10th, 2010 09:17 amWhew! Lots of linkage today. I can't believe I sat on posting these for so long...well, actually I can!
Here's a Canadian Broadcasting Company clip of HST defending Hells Angels with a...Hells Angel. I had no idea the CBC had this goodie in its archive.
Breakfast With Hunter Volume 2 is also coming out on July 13 from Wayne Ewing.
I liked this article, "Mild Dread and Some Aversion in Aspen". I'd still like to visit Colorado some day and see the other side of the Rockies...but I think Aspen would be way out of my league. The ritziest thing I have is a Coach purse and that probably wouldn't even do :-D
An enterprising blogger decided to make use of FOIA and found out that the CIA does not have a file on HST. He's still awaiting a reply from the FBI. I'm intrigued!
This seems pretty morbid, but Amazon lists a DVD available for pre-order for Thompson, Hunter S. - Final 24: His Final Hours. The thought is so unnappealing that I don't even want to entertain more research into it.
Gregory Ego posts some pictures of HST at a booksigning in Denver from a few years ago in his blog. It's hard to believe that all those booksignings were ten years ago now.
And lastly, you're nobody if you're not immmortalized in Lego:

HST Symposium Video
Sep. 23rd, 2007 07:45 pmWhich is bigger - my backlog of gonzo news or the photos I took this summer? It's a close tie :-D On July 21, 2007, the Aspen Institute hosted the first HST symposium. Video of the event is available for viewing courtesy of Wayne Ewing.
