THE LOST POST
The other day I posted a very long piece and as my luck would have it, I lost it to technical difficulties. This is how my life works sometimes.
Anyway, what I had written was about how that some people have been asking me how I could respect Hunter Thompson because he killed himself. Well, for one thing I don't respect the guy because he killed himself. In fact if the details that I have heard are true; and he shot himself while his son, daughter-in-law, and five year old grandchild were in the house; as well as having his wife (or ex-wife,I don't know) on the phone while he did it, well let's just say that I find that to be the behavior of a total fucking piece of shit.
My sympathy really goes out to those people who were close to the man and loved him. I am sure that they must be experiencing a flood of emotions ranging from anger, hatred, love, sorrow, etc. And possibly all of these things at the same time if that is possible. I have seen what suicide can do to families and loved ones and I can't begin to imagine what those people who loved Thompson must be feeling. I hope that I never will.
But back to the original question at hand. Do I respect Hunter S. Thompson? Yes. I'm not sure why that seems to be so hard for some of the people I have talked to in the last couple of days to conceptualize. I enjoyed the man's work. I think he was a great writer and his work had an impact on me. Him shooting himself really doesn't change anything for me. Had I personally known the man, maybe it would. No, I don't agree with everything the guy thought or stood for; but since when has that become the prerequisite for respecting, or liking someone?
I have a lot of friends that I do not agree with on everything, or maybe I don't subscribe to their certain philosophies in life, but hell, I think it be kind of a boring if all I did was hang or associate with people who thought exactly like I do, or only like the same things as me. It makes me wonder about just how narrow minded some people must be.
As an aside, if "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" doesn't describe "drug addled" then nothing does.
