What does Hunter S. Thompson think. . . "Excitable Boy"?

[clarkboy]

It's funny, it is now 3:44am. Some hours ago I started to say how the book affected
me. I had to "cut" what I had written after I found myself complaining about how "they"
don't accomodate "us". Like Pogo says, ". . . they is us." Seeing like an owl is good for
owls. Hearing like a wolf is good for wolves. What risk am I taking in saying that BOTH
might provide a humanizing experience? The writing is good enough that if I embrace it, I should be able to find my way back. I'm always fighting things like bad acid, dumb thugs,
and medical malpractice, not to mention co-habitants, so rock on. It's well written. I have
a friend who is a burned man. I've known brutally hard shit from drugs. I might say, "Fuck
you and your stupid hippie deconcoction." Then I might drink it- again.

Oh, you meant the "Other Pogo", my apologies! *KinkySpice buzzes away blushingly*...

I have not yet read "Smashing Open My Gourd Like a Watermelon over the Head of My Lover, A rather Soft-Rinded Watermelon that will cause no Pain, but rather Immense Disgrace as the Soft, thin, Rind-peices and gooey wet sweet melon-flesh Cling to her Nose",
I mean "Breaking Open The Head" (which I indeed will soon,)

Hunter S. Thompsan remains the absolute authority on all things political, psychedelic, and tradgic. I recomend "The Rum Diaries" above all else, and written at such a young age! The book is not merely scathing political commentary, but reveals the sad futility of the "caught-in-a-loopness of rogueshness". The Lone Rogue is doomed to loop. Is that how you (sp?) "rougue"???

Also his collections of letters- the sheer volume is at once awesome and sad- we can follow Thompson typing madly to his local Television Network, disgracing them for their poor choice of programming with such venom, wit, and unbridaled glory that I weep. Who were such letters for? Thank god they are FOR US, for to think of the 400,000 pages of dense, venemouse brilliance going unread would be tradgic indeed. And Television Network executives are not the best audience, or are they?

But I will report back when the Watermelon has Broken.

As always, test blasting dynamite with acid casualties in a fortified compound and drinking Orange Juice ritualistically EVERY morning.
