This is the area reserved for my fascination with the outlaw journalist himself, Hunter S. Thompson. He is probably my favorite author and I am deeply indebted to him, as it was reading his 1972 book "Fear and Loathing in las Vegas" which affected my life profoundly.

Be sure and drop by the Doc's own home page, The Manifesto, and find out what he's been up to. Also, you can see the fruits of his devotee's labors at the #1 Gonzo 'zine on the Web, Fat City News. Much good stuff to see at both places and so run, do not walk, to get yourself acquainted with the master and his disciples. Be sure to check out the latest screed from the good Doctor, "The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desparate Southern Gentleman 1955-67: The Fear and Loathing Letters, Volume 1" (Villard Books, 1997), available from your favorite bookseller. Its not to be missed! Also, coming soon, the movie adaptation of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", which should be a good one. And be sure to check out a page with a lot of great Hunter links!

While you are here in the Sword and Gun Club, your gracious host would like you to have a look at a couple of sites devoted to a great singer/songwriter, Liz Phair. She was considered the "next big thing" in alternative music just a few years ago. She has just released her first new CD in 4 years, whitechocolatespaceegg on Matador. Rush out to your local record store and pick it up! While she doesn't have anything to do with Hunter Thompson or Gonzo Journalism, I decided a gratuitous mention of her would be appropriate here. This is another Liz site "Stratford-on-Guy", with lots of pics. And yet another wonderful site is Exile in Netville from where these pics came from.
Yet more to come soon so hurry back!
