that old bastard finally got around to killing himself, as i'm sure many of us are now aware. for those of you who don't know, this is the guy that wrote "fear & loathing in las vegas" and invented gonzo journalism (that is, the style of journalism in which the author talks about himself incessantly and makes no attempt at fair or objective reporting). his steady diet of just about every drug known to man sustained him to the ripe old age of 67, and who knows how much further he would have made it, had he not shot himself in the head. yet another testament to the power of genetics and the fact that life is not at all fair.
