THE CAPTAIN'S LOG

Remembering Dr. Gonzo

I have some foul news tonite. Hunter S Thompson is gone. I heard it on my walkman tonite while out on the back porch... and boy did it fuck with my head. Playwright Arthur Miller died february 10th, but Dr. Gonzo committed suicide today.

Now this is ferociously harsh, because I find Gonzo journalism highest amongst my inspirations. I idolize this man as my literary god. I even lusted after the idea of a mentorship. Dead men don't have protoges, but coattail stowaways.

His Neal-Cassidy-meets-the-60's lifestyle is vital to the survival of our american culture. Despite critcism, Thompson's work has both validity and importance to the literary world. Anyone who thinks differently is a depthless prick.

Hold up.

Anyways... its a bitch to pen something that hasn't gelled yet.

Sa Da Tay.
