I wish Thompson's writing style got as much attention as his industrial capacity for drugs does. There aren't a whole lot of writers that can take the English language and bend it to their will like he could. Play it safe? Not a chance; whether that was with Mescaline or how to construct a paragraph.
As for which "Journey to the Center of Myself" track? Zero idea, so I'm going with George Harrison's "See Yourself," solely because "What Is Life" is playing as I type this. Seems like sound logic...
Nice tribute. Will always be jealous of my friend in college that got to pick him up at the airport and was told to "drive around until I finish this bottle." Then he brought him to me (and a few others who were there). Never knew it was recorded (although it was broadcast on the college radio station) until I read this and looked for it. Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5x9SF9DJ9Eo
Didn't get an autograph but did get those of Burroughs and Ginsberg that same year, I think...
HST/Gonzo….there will never be another like him. So easily we connected with his writings…and attitude/aptitude for “the edge”…..
