I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me. - Hunter S. Thompson (1937-2005)
The great, the one, the only, the father of Gonzo Journalism, Hunter S. Thompson took his life over the weekend. His path was never one that would end quietly, in a rocking chair. So, I guess it is a fitting end to a life lived on the edge.
So long and mahalo.
PS: See his last ESPN column here and the wikipedia bio here.
