Gonzo's Dead...Long Live Journalism

I'm going to bed soon - not much to say about that. But the first reports of Hunter S. Thompson's assumed suicide are crossing the wires. I always admired what he accomplished, no matter how drug-addled and often messily arranged. Losing him would be a tragedy at any point in history's advance. Now it seems all the more apt. Gonzo journalism must live, no matter what Hunter's mind might have told him in the end. Sleep well, you crazy, brilliant freak.
