Hunter S. Thompson

Re HST sigs, Smack might like this one as much as I do

"The TV business is uglier than most things. It is normally perceived as
some kind of cruel and shallow money trench through the heart of the
journalism industry, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run
free and good men die like dogs, for no good reason."
Hunter S.Thompson, 'Generations of Swine'

When I read 'Hell's Angels' as an impressionable fourteen year old, I had an
epiphany.. I wanted to be a journalist... thankfully that soon passed and I
bought some motorcycles instead.

Err, you're right. Fancy not reading down to the end. He was a hero
precisely because he got up people's noses; finally, he put a big one
up his own nose. On reflection, it's a wonder he lasted so long; drugs
and firearms are not a match made in heaven.
