hunter stockton thompson

love him or hate him - I elect to do both - he was a figure of significance. On days when I hated him I remembered a story David Grubbs used to tell about how his dad may or may not have tarred and feathered Hunter for taking bets against the football team on homecoming (in Louisville, naturally, where suddenly burroughs and thompson seem to become one - southern counter culture of the skids as it were.

well, we still have a place for he and lester bangs in our memories right?
