Oh Captain, My Captain!!!
My personal hero, Hunter S. Thompson, comitted suicide yesterday at his home in Aspen, Colorado. No note, no reason. Just a gunshot to the head. Maybe his trip finally got to be too much for him. Who knows. I'm sure the tabloids will be coming up with their reasons in no time.
I think the best way to eulogize Thompson is to use his own words form Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas when he is saying good bye to his best friend, Dr. Gonzo:
"There he goes one of God's own prototypes, a high powered mutant never even considered for mass-production. Too weird to live, to rare to die."
