Bizarre; unconventional.
So, is anyone else a Hunter S. Thompson fan? Ever since I was introduced to his work I've been in love with it, devouring every peice of writing I can find, not to mention the media aspects. The latest documentary on the man, Breakfast with Hunter, was amazing.
For those of you who don't know, Hunter has long been a well-known and unconventional journalist. He wrote for Rolling Stone for quite a while, and is most famous for the (mostly) true story, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, about the exploits of himself and then Chicano rights activist Oscar Acosta (R.I.P.) in Las Vegas. The book was made into a movie in 1995, starring Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro.
If you havent read anything of his yet, do so now. And right now, talk about this amazing man.
