Scene from the documentary Fear and Loathing in Gonzovision.

I'm fascinated and horrified by Hunter, and what became of him. Part of me is impressed that he rode it to the end, but I also find it so sad that he spent his later life trying to live up to this almost cartoonish creation of Duke. Then he topped himself when he couldn't do it anymore, leaving behind so many people who loved him.

I recently dated someone that reminded me of HST/Duke... I toyed with the idea of going along for the ride, but it was frightening frankly...

After finding her unconscious on my living room floor while I was doing the dishes, I knew it was somewhat out of control.

I think of him as an example of a a writer that made the image for his own life. Sure its fucked up that the Duke, a binger of self-destruction took hold. But he probably had a hell of a time
