Hunter S. Thompson Essay

 

 

Gonzo Personas: Hunter S. Thompson and John G. Clancy

 

Essay

A Master of Tools - by John G. Clancy

Thanks to Mitch!




“We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and—in spite of True Romance magazines—we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely—at least, not all the time—but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.”

Hunter S. Thompson - Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas

Hunter S. Thompson - Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas
Illustrations by Ralph Steadman
PDF & Audio Book

Some of the greatest writing by one of the greatest authors of the 20th century...


“Every now and then when your life gets complicated and the weasels start closing in, the only cure is to load up on heinous chemicals and then drive like a bastard from Hollywood to Las Vegas ... with the music at top volume and at least a pint of ether.”
~Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Lizard Lounge by Ralph Steadman

The pdf which includes illustrations...
Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas


The Audio Book...
This just might prove to be the funniest and most impeccable words every put to paper. The man may be gone but his words live on.
This is a great reading starring:
Henry Dean Stanton as the Narrator
Jim Jarmusch as Duke
and Maury Chaykin as Gonzo

Audio

If you are unfamiliar with the writings of Hunter S. Thompson, now is the time.

See the H.S.T. bibliography

Frank Zappa and Edgard Varese



Edgard Varese: The Idol of My Youth
By Frank Zappa
Stereo Review, June 1971. pp61-62

Footnote:
I can't give you any structural insights or academic suppositions about how his music works or why I think it sounds so good. His music is completely unique. If you haven't heard it yet, go hear it. If you've already heard it and think it might make groovy sound effects, listen again. I would recommend the Chicago Symphony recording of Arcana on RCA (at full volume) or the Utah Symphony recording of Ameriques on Vanguard. Also, there is a biography by Fernand Oulette, and miniature scores are available for most of his works, published by G. Ricordi.

If you have listened to the podcast in the post below you'll here Frank talk about composing music and Edgar Varese. Frank speaks of a piece of music composed in 1912 by Edgar Varese entitled Ameriques.  Ameriques (right click - save as)
