Hunter S. Thompson Dead at 67
Hunter S. Thompson Dies at 67 (washingtonpost.com)
Hunter S. Thompson, whose life and writing, vivid and quirky reflections of each other, made him one of the principal symbols of the American counterculture, shot and killed himself yesterday at his home near Aspen.
My roommate and I used to read HST in college as a diversion from our studies. Tonight I feel a little older and a little sadder than I did before. Not a surprising way for Thompson to bow out, but what a tragic waste.
