Fuck off Hunter S. pass the weed and the whisky. There can never be found adequate words to express my appreciation to Doctor Thompson.
No, not Bono Vox' buddy, but the edge as in the razor's edge: the place where the people who make a difference in the world; go to live the only way they know how...the edge is all they know. To walk through fire, just because it is there and to see the other side, just because their eyes are open? That is living.
Yet, when it becomes barely possible to lift your brave fingers to the typewriter or the smoke to your lips; then it is time to take that gun to your head and go out with cannon fire.
Happy belated Birthday Hunter S.
