I was homeless in Honolulu when I read the Curse of Lono. The book was in the Reference Section of the State Library near Downtown. They had a square doughnut shaped library where the center was open to the sky and you could sit there as the rain came pouring down into that little jungle they had growing in the center of the place. I laughed so hard while reading The Curse of Lono that Security got called on me and the guy was polite and asked me if I was OK and he went away and I quieted down but I had to go back multiple times to finish the book and I laughed like a jibbering lunatic every time I went there. The Curse of Lono, Great Book!

Agreed. His son Juan suggests that Hunter's varsity-level self-abuse ruined his ability to write. If you have read Curse of Lono then you can see that his writing really struggled from fairly early on. Hunter became an effective columnist after Lono. His book writing days were over by then. Which is a shame...but like so many others from his era, self-abuse opened doors in Hunter's mind that led to some truly excellent writing. Then came the Law of Diminishing Returns.

Of course drugs & alcohol had an effect on him, but Hunter has said in interview, or a recorded discussion, I forget which, that he felt that he was sort of stuck between the self, that is Hunter, and the character, that the public saw him as. The two identities, sort of blended together, I think, as happens with many people who are in the public's eye, for a long period of time. This was later in his life, and the recording took place at his ranch. I wish I could recall who he was talking with, at that time, it slips my mind… probably due to my own self-abuse. @@chadwik4000

Maybe you don't know but Hunter eventually did find that dark bubble inside himself. It was found right before he blew part of his head off with a revolver at the kitchen table with his son & wife steps away in the next room - after hearing another random shot, the slow walk began, it was not unusual in this household to hear random gunfire - but to find the canoe shaped head of Hunter face down was.... an unusual event. "Some may never live, but the crazy never die." -The End? “We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like ‘I feel a bit light-headed; maybe you should drive…’ And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats.” R.I.P.

If I were to guess I’d assume he wouldn’t be able to stand those types, and in the event that he actually didn’t like them, he strikes me as the type that doesn’t put himself above treating others differently than anyone else as long as they aren’t disrespectful around him, and they did adore him.

Drugs are a hell of a drug, and he did them as well as I imagine a person could. Had something to show for them too. I’d wager that Johnny Depp’s portrayal of him was the most accurate portrayal of a human to ever have been attempted. Some of what was said in this talk was indistinguishable from Depp . Also find it hilarious that Hunter probably never tried to be unique in the way he holds a cigarette, it just what makes sense for his posture or something. The guy next to him seems amused, terrified, bored, in admiration, and like he has somewhere to be all at once somehow

"when the going gets weird the weird turn pro" words to live by maybe. It's difficult to admire him in the sense of aspiring to be like him since he was a man of his era Journalists for Rolling Stone could not do now what he did then.

@@HisWordsAreTruth you can see him intermittently use the ash tray, when he wipes the desk he’s wiping the whole thing even when he’s not ashing on the table. it’s clear to see he was doing it a lot in the video without noticing himself.
