Mahalo, Doc / Annyoung Lee Eun Ju
These are not headlines I wanted to wake up to this morning.
I first became aware of Hunter Thompson after getting a copy of "Hell’s Angels : A Strange and Terrible Saga" from a friend of mine back around 1985. It is a remarkable piece of "embedded" journalism. Although his last job was working as a columnist at espn.com, his columns were still witty, irreverent and caustic.
Anyone who is or aspires to be a journalist and/or and author who is not familiar with Thompson should get their hands on a book of his and read.
UPDATE:
