HUNTER S. FEELING LIKE A PUSSY WHEN CONFRONTED WITH THE GHOSTS OF GONZO JOURNALISM PAST - YouTube

I'M A HUGE FAN OF THE LATE DOCTOR GONZO AND ENJOYED IMMENSELY READING ". . . HELL'S ANGELS" EVEN BEFORE I GOT TO "FEAR AND LOATHING" IN GRADE NINE OF 1976 . . . HOWEVER, HE GETS WHAT WAS COMING TO HIM WHEN CONFRONTED WITH THE FOLLY OF HIS WAYS . . . .

Sadly, too many crew the world over have assumed the worst about 1% clubs, even moreso now, without any first hand experience whatsoever, apart from equally inexperienced and overhyped press reports, the bottom line remains, however, that the Gonzo King wanted his cake and to eat it too . . . what he ended up getting was a big ole mouthful of cold crow . . . . a black eye [that ain't a beating !!], and a best seller . . . .

Anyhoo, some classic celluloid, from a much discussed event from a time that shaped a lot of our lives . . .
If you haven't already, read the fucking book, do some background researching, but don't be taking Hunter's account as gospel . . . yeh, I don't know that for sure . . . . . it's a pretty good hunch though.
