Nice bit by Hunter S, thanks. Did you know that Mr Gonzo himself shot himself not too long ago? Bad trip, one might say.

Guess he'd had enough. Dead at either 68 or 69, up around Colorado ways.

Off Topic: Sorry for the random comment but this reminded me of the second scariest moment in my young (and blessedly short) police career. Nothing like having a sailor crashing out in the brig because he had swallowed his crack upon bust but being too bombed to yack it up at the first opportunity. Luckily our squad's CO had seen it before and was able to begin administering the first aid that would eventually save the young man's life once the medics showed up. It was a near thing though.

Yeah. I know. He died a blantant hypocrite.

He had always stated that suicide was a chicken**** way to die.

Must have been pretty awful, for him to do himself in like that, knowing that his own written word would remain to haunt his actions.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.

And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.

"Isn't this where...."

Something tells me, Doc, that when he made the decision to end it all, he did not much care what he had said in younger, more vigorous days. A warning to us all as we age . . . make sure you have someone to talk to, you may need them to talk you out of doing something irreversible down the road.

He was on the phone with his wife when he did it. She agreed with his decision. He stuck the gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger.

He was in a lot of pain, and all he had to look forward to was more pain. What an awful way to go.

Note to self... If I ever wanted to die in a spectacular fashion, detonate personal ammo dump.
