He shot himself dead.
What the fuck?!??
I’m not sure of the impact of this, but it bothers me that someone who seemed to take such joy in life saying, “fuck you” to everything said fuck it and left.
Especially weird when you consider the amount of booze and drugs he pumped into himself didn’t kill him.
And is it just me or is it kind of pathetic that so many reports on this need to mention Johnny Depp so people will know who he was? I like Johnny Depp a lot, but it’s just a sad statement about our society that someone with credentials and a legacy like Thompson’s needs a pop culture icon reference to clarify his existence.
Of course that kind of stuff might be part of the reason….?
Enough babbling, I’m going to go read one of his books.
