Damn, what we need right about now is HSTs lazerbeam commentary on the
current misadminstration. Has his latest book been released?

""There was no point in fighting -- on our side or theirs. We had all
the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. "

It is my sincere hope that this was an end with which he was at peace,
and that he left on the crest. This end would seem out of place, violent
and lonely, with anyone except HST.

I would suspect that it was violent and lonely for him as well. The winter
sunlight is scarce in the Roaring Fork valley and cabin fever or valley
fever is rampant and vicious if one has SAD or other depressive tendencies.
When I worked down river in Glenwood Springs Feb and Mar were brutal months
with elevated suicide and domestic violence reported. We frequently heard
tales of gunfire in a home in Woody Creek from our friends in the Aspen
hospital and others who lived up river. This doesn't surprise me at all.

Of couse we can't know for sure, at least unless something is found written,
but I suspect that he knew for years that the end would eventually come at
his own hand. No reason for that belief, but its what I think.

I also was very startled to see how much he had aged between the publicity
pics of him with Johnny Depp at the opening of FALILV, and some recent pic
of him getting out of Kerry's limo during a motorcade earlier this year.
Might be that he just figured that he was wearing out pretty quickly and it
was time. At least, I hope it was that structured. It'd be a damn shame if
SAD got him....for him, his wife AND his wounded secretary.

On a completely other note, he kept peacocks. Wouldn't it be totally cool to
get some HST Peacock hurl and tie up a Fear and Loathing fly? Any ideas of
what it would look like?

excellent point...but one must never assume that what's writ hereabouts
has such meaning or revelation, eh?

Add Arthur Miller and Susan Sontag to that list.

The death of the latter reminded me of the absence of our own Willy Loman
(sic :-). Hope he hasn't gone into sales... :-)
