Had to post this, just because. Via Mike Eades’ Facebook. Clicking the image ought to give you a readable one. Here’s a link with a large version too.

    In 1971 I read Thompson’s classic book, ‘Hells Angels’. It is one of my all time favorite books. His description of a chopped Harley between your legs as a ‘King Kong equalizer’ is PURE GENIUS.

      He got his ass beat for real during his research on that.

      Where are you when we need you the most, Hunter?

    My hair blew back a little from reading this. Thank you. :-)

      It would be interesting. He never carried water for anyone, but I wonder what he’d think about the Muslim Menace.

    • Amy January 13, 2016 at 09:23

      Hard to say. I honestly haven’t read much of him because he used to kind of get on my nerves. I think because he could be a bit too glib sometimes. But honestly, it’s been so long I can’t remember why anymore.

      But from what little I know/remember, he was a pretty complex guy, fairly anti-establishment, and definitely infused with a goodly amount of the Beat/Boomer mindset. IMO a lot of the popular reverence for multiculturalism isn’t so much a real value of what other cultures have to offer as it is an avenue for pissing off and hamstringing the established White Western Male Hegemony. The “Muslim Menace” definitely does that, which is why so many liberals are okay with it even in the face of events like Cologne and Rotherham that violate their other sacred cows of feminism, child exploitation, and rape culture. Because pissing off Daddy always should always primary goal in life.

      Anyway, this beautiful little bitch slap has piqued me to finally read more of Hunter S. I’ve matured since he last annoyed me so I’ll be giving him a read very soon (probably later today). So thanks for that, too! :-)

      “I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they’ve always worked for me.” Hunter S Thompson.

      You’ve gotta love it!

    • Amy January 13, 2016 at 09:26

      I can’t edit my comment above, but my main point was supposed to be that I think it’s hard to speculate where Hunter S. would land on the Muslim Menace, given the sensibilities that apparently informed his worldview. But with age often comes new perspective and wisdom, so who knows.

    Priceless! And gone much too soon…….

      Actually, given his path, it was amazing he hung on as long as he did . . .

    There’s a good documentary on NetFlix about him called “Gonzo.” Part of it covers his run for sheriff of Aspen, when he shaved his head so he could make reference to his “long-haired opponent.”

    Trump owes something to Thompson. Sadly not enough.

About FreeTheAnimal

I'm Richard Nikoley. Free The Animal began in 2003 and as of 2020, has 5,000 posts and 120,000 comments from readers. I blog what I wish...from lifestyle to philosophy, politics, social antagonism, adventure travel, nomad living, location and time independent—"while you sleep"— income, and food. I intended to travel the world "homeless" but the Covid-19 panic-demic squashed that. I've become an American expat living in rural Thailand where I've built a home. I celebrate the audacity and hubris to live by your own exclusive authority and take your own chances. [Read more...]
