HST I guess no one will really be surprised at how Hunter S. Thompson's life came to an end, but that doesn't mean that everyone won't miss him. I knew him more as a Colorado legend than as a writer. I've regularly read his Page 2 column on ESPN.com, but I have yet to read his books or see any of the big screen adaptations. Still, I feel he was a kindred soul. I suspect we enjoyed or food and drink and entertainment in much the same manner even if Ihave yet to experience it to any where near the same degree, intensity, or duration. If I had to guess, I would bet that HST has known since he was a teenager how his life would end. I'm sure there's an interesting if not fascinating story about how the end game ultimately played out, but I suspect that there has never been any real doubt about how it would end. So many of us talked about going to Aspen just hoping to run into the guy. He was the kind of approachable legend that we all thought we might eventually brush shoulders with. I'm sorry I didn't make it to Aspen in time. |
