Nicely done, Cool. Watch this video. Toast to Hunter, with a Joint. Maybe kickback and reblue a revolver. But most importantly Write! I was a Criminal once and probably still am in some ways. Hunter S. Thompson
"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!" -H.S.Thompson
Or was it Bill McKenna? It’s difficult to find the actual source- elsewhere; “Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in one pretty and well preserved piece, but to skid across the line broadside, thoroughly used up, worn out, leaking oil, shouting GERONIMO!” Bill McKenna, professional motorcycle racer, Cycle magazine Feb. 1982
_"However, the death, if natural, would undoubtedly be the more harmonious; the death by murder being confused and the entity needing some time/space in which to get its bearings, so to speak; the death by suicide causing the necessity for much healing work and, shall we say, the making of a dedication to the third density for the renewed opportunity of learning the lessons set by the higher self."_ Ra Material
This story would never have been told had our founders not placed freedom of speech first in the list of rights they felt gave mankind true freedom,no attempt to silent our voices in the name of righteous enlightened motive tward a more just popular trend can uphold and honor freedom or its founders sacrifices,freedom of speech belongs to all Americans even if that voice upsets us,the freedom of choice can deal with even the most outrageous message!!!!! History has taught us the outcome of sensorship over and over,hunters story lives because the constitution meant something in his time and im sure he would agree!!!!
The founders of this storied country didn't bestow any rights upon us. They're God given. They're yours and mine from birth. Just making an important distinction in case anyone read what you wrote the same way I did
@GarlTsagan Well that would be nice, but you're WRONG. Just because the "founders of this storied country" SAID that doesn't make it true, otherwise ALL people (you know that the WORLD isn't just the US, right?) would have these rights, no? Unless you truly believe that GOD gave US citizens these rights, just because the founders SAID to, but most people aren't actually that naive, even if they have to claim they are, because their FAITH says they have to.
@@madcapglass1454 No way. Like I said it doesnt matter what the founders said or from what I understand you're saying, gave us. They're irrelevant. All people are born with these rights, Americans and everyone else. Never forget this. People infringe upon these rights. That's the evil in the world edit: I get it, this is something you can't be told. You'll need to figure it out yourself. Don't let me stop you
Boy, the crowd at the interview with the biker was generally amused when the biker said, "To keep a woman in line, you gotta beat 'em like a rug once in a while." Their reaction is sort of horrifying.
What's more Horrifying is how Offended and Upset people nowadays get when one makes a joke like that. I'm not saying the Biker said it as a joke, in this context he's likely Sincere, yet the Audience Saw it as a Joke.
@@KyeEnzoden in what world should beating women be an acceptable joke? "I don't actually beat women, I just think beating women is funny! it's a joke!" I swear the "everyone is offended these days" people like you are bigger babies than the people who get offended.
While you’re reading him may I suggest to top it off with a few Carlos Castenada writings as well as Aldous Huxley who is known for his work A brave New World, but there’s so much more 😊
I'm actually irritated the Biker kept interrupting and the Host cut him off before he could say his piece. I'd like to know the other side of the story.
When you pass away you still have to deal with the problems you left behind in this life. We live multiple lifetimes until we live a life of harmony and balance. When you die it is revealed what life here is and your soul has a powerful urge to come back and try again. We have all lived past lifetimes and most of us will come back again and again until we transcend all of our earthly desires and balance our indiscretions from past lives. When that happens we no longer have the will to reincarnate and we move up in the world of spiritual hierarchies.
I read all his books loved where the buffalo roam....part of me thinks fun etc the other part of me thinks just ranting of drugs. I did lots and some was related to thinking they drove some creative energy. Now i look back and see much of it as HS.
Kohdassa 21:10 Hunter pistää helvetin enkelille hyvin vastaan vaikka biker yrittää dissata kovasti.. harva uskaltaa ja yleisö nauraa vaikka toi "enkeli" on täys idiootti!. Ps. Hyvä Hunter! RIP..
I reserve the right to end this hellscape shit show whenever I please, and I plan to when the time is right. Probably and hopefully at an older age but that’s between me and my dog.
Not much in the way of substance conveyed by Hunter S. Thompson. Lots of drug culture social cache and shallow tabloid-political commentary glazed with "legend" hype. His fans lived vicariously via his self-reported "exploits", but what is one left with at the end of the day after increasingly tiresome and desperate stints of nihilistic hedonism and self-abuse marketed as "literary" entertainment? Generation of Swine, for example, is pretty slight stuff. Oy.
As a anarchist, he would have naturally opposed Trump. I think he would have appreciated the opposition of the status quo that Trump brings. If my intuition is right, he would have chosen Trump over Beady eyes and crooked clinton if forced to vote. He spoke of American youth generations a lot. It's hard to pinpoint an set moral beliefs he had but he clearly had an arrow for truth.
@George Adept yet biden might take the office. I almost want to give props to biden for being ballsy enough to think that there wont be any repercussions of deceiving the majority of the American public but... Then again, biden is a puppet, a figure. Probably not what I would call a real human being. Replaceable and easy to replicate. No distinctiveness which makes for a perfect pasty. I hate politics. Talking about it makes me need to feel like I need to wipe shit off myself. Blah lol

Damn good quote
I have this quote on my fridge. I cut it out of a newspaper years ago.

He actually didnt write that one
Hunter said it. "Buy the ticket, take the ride." We all choose our train.
Bots
Cho Cho choose
Hear that whistle blowin'!
I feel so depressed and trapped by this sickness, the alcohol, the pills won’t leave my life….. But I take comfort knowing I can leave anytime..
Stay okay.
Buy the ticket take the ride, get off when you choose.
We're in this shit together, cuz. 4 corners America united.

I guess I have 14 books to read. Damn where the hell have I been.
Read Songs of the Doomed. Damn good book man. You'll laugh until you cry throughout the whole damn thing.

Me too, sirs. Me, too. Cheers!
My father and HTS started their journalism career same way in the military wow this blew my mind !
Let’s hear it for H.S. Thompson and Junkie Georgie’s dog.
I'm actually irritated the Biker kept interrupting and the Host cut him off before he could say his piece. I'd like to know the other side of the story.
Johnny is capture Hunter real well in Fear and loathing in Las Vegas!!
i can never understand why the box office did not make much more money, that hotel desk clerk scene with the police is hilarious
Because the theatre wasn’t exactly the scene of the crowd that enjoyed such things.
Prob would have done better on internet in future
what are you referring to?
Have you seen the theater crowd lately?😮
A living hell. Controlled by personal preference. Balancing between mild psychosis and lunacy. One can no longer stop after been that far.
Love HTS amazing life worthy of a spirit
He wasn't a Member of the HA, he was a hang around doing his write up time with them ...
Mentally ill, but aren't we all to some degree, his degree made him a good writer.

I know Hunter S Thompson I watch and read all his article he the greatest man ever even the Hell Angles
I think he had AS "Aspergers syndrome" I also have this.
Fuckin' brilliant. Cheers!
I read all his books loved where the buffalo roam....part of me thinks fun etc the other part of me thinks just ranting of drugs. I did lots and some was related to thinking they drove some creative energy. Now i look back and see much of it as HS.
I was him for about 5 years. Nobody else lived but me
i worked at Target third shift not too different
I wish I could go back to the 60s and live then now. Society had its problems but I liked those times much better. Women were women and men were men.
Would have been fun to be with Hunter and Mr Depp for a weekend no doubt !!
I realize now why Depp love this guy. I feel like somehow I understand his chaos...
There’s lots of routes on the ride.
Hunter👍+✊
we love hunter

Acid and coke definitely ruined his mind seems like he was on a trip this whole video
Thompson was reckless with guns. Enough said.

welcome to hell
Yea you right Sean Penn Johnny Depp was great in the movie wich you would have never been able to do
Fast time at ridgemont High was his peak in 79 😂
He’d have HATED Trump.
Probably. I don't think hunter really trusted any politicians regardless of right or left views. Which is smart because they all are puppets .
He'd have hated Biden too
What must it feel like ... to be unable to scratch your ass, without making it about Le Orange Man?

Degenerate gold. A purely perspective soul. He sees(saw) the beauty in chaos. Antagonist.
murry and Depp were ACTING...im not.ive downloaded a few clips ALL personal real time adventures.
Drugs or bot?
@@SuperWarJam just a dude
@@SuperWarJam can you repete the question ?
Depp became disturbed after playing Hunter Thompson; who was a junkie.
Raoul Duke*, and wrong.
Thompson wasn't a Junkie.
Bullshit !
