Hunter S Thompson - Gonzo Journalism
(John Bowie)
Hunter S Thompson had a work ethos that ended up defining a new
genre of writing style. Throwing himself head first into his subject
matter to the extent by which you can''t help but be amazed he lived as
long he did before going out in his triumphant blaze of glory as his
ashes were fired firework style across the Arizona desert. What a
writer! His ''by the seat of his pants'' Gonzon journalism put him in
ominous situations with Hells Angels, the Police and drug cultures
a-like all adding richly to his end result, the writing.
Highlight moments of his crazy Gonzo-ness include being chain
whipped by some Hells Angels that thought he''d infiltrated there gang
as some sort of ''class war'' joke / and as an initiation, shooting
lizards with revolver high as a kite, being ''questionably'' questioned
by road police and a remarkable deconstruction of the whole las Vegas
experience.
