@6:00 Abuses bird... HILARIOUS GUY... 🤦🏻‍♀️ Fame is above the law, I guess... thanks, JD.

Johnny Depo nailed it.

when he spills the weed 😂

Eeeeeeeéeeeeeeeee

I read fear and loathing and hell's Angels in my twenties in the early 90s...they really got me grown, quick! I knew some types like him...some far out shit, man!😨

and then.... ZANG

Quelqu’un pourrait il traduire ce doc en Français ???

Smoking on a plain and nickel beer!!! WTF! Oh how we have fallen...

Did the monument get built??

Uses camera like it's a gun. Just like his pen. RIP Hunter

One of the most important writers in American literature. Bless you and takecare from U.K.

Love how everyone comments “Johnny Depp did this” or “In the movie was…” Hey people! How about reading the book? I guarantee you it’s a lot funnier than the movie! 😉

Recently, I became very disillusioned, when. I learned that HST and his lawyer friend really did open the Weekending Vegas, but they only used alcohol, marijuana, and Dexedrine, and not any of the other stuff. It can be so disappointing when you learn the truth about the heroes of your youth.

20:59 history doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes..

Freedom is something that dies unless it is used. HST

Through war and life, I’ve lived one quote more than any…, “When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.” Hunter owns the quote. But fortunate ones get to share a Guinness and some fine waves and feel grateful for living HT’s words…without forgetting the adventures through all the chemicals😎🏄‍♀️🕉

Such an over rated hack. Though highly weaponized. Yeah. Groovy man. Not like I am unfamiliar with the main aspect of his legend....re psychedelics. He was an over the top operator, vastly over rated, though he found the right time of man. Time was I think I had the first 15 or 20 pages of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas memorized. I do like the idea of having to dodge from imaginary desert bats. Or even severing the boys head had its amusements, he was such a hopeful lad on his first convertible ride. And at least in the last movie of this they got the carpet right. But finally psychedelics are potentially such an effective tool. Hunter Thompson did much to bring them discredit.

'The technology warps reality'. -Hunter S. Thompson.

Now his second wife Anita is trying to convince everybody that HST would have been MAGA because she’s become a podcast zombie. So sad.

Sorry about the covid 19 today😂🎉

'Crazy how quaint Vegas and L.A. appear in this.

Thomson waved a big flag about mendacious, corrupt & self-serving politicians killing the US. He's avoided a lot of misery by topping himself in 2005.

The way he mistreated that terrified caged bird is disgraceful. The poor bird squeaking in fright as he bangs the cage and reaches in and grabs it.

He was never a Hell’s Angel. Being beaten up and tolerated, occasionally liked, doesn’t make you one. Doing terrible things does.

Nixon is a severely underrated President.

The cleanest, best pleasure

Was Ray Romano’s cameo the guy that Bill Murray convinced to change his mind with the passionate speech?

Aspen scareways; our motto:"We almost Always get there"!

Hes clearly struggling to drop "the act" and awaken....... as most humans are.

You know Albert Speer? You know Albert Speer the Nazi architect? We designed your monument by the same methods

The amount of times he mentions people not able to see him as anything other than duke is sad.

Alan Rinzler and H.S Tompson segment should have been added in more than just a footnote.

Lzm

❤ legalized weed, Peter tosh big fan

These BBC guys were so Naive. Bunch of BBC Wankers. No change there then.

The thing we should treasure about Hunter is his disgust of the human race and that he didn't include himself as a member. 🖤

25:30 i love this man

He was never a hells angel he just rode with them

Ralph steadman: "for a good time... Don't call me, I am dull"

When you see a man who lives his entire life like this you realise what a pathetic coward you’ve been for most of yours and you step up your rebellion game from pathetic to middling at least.

No no, he was not a Hell's Angel, nor was he part of any violence, and he never advocated for violence.

Love the bottle of NyQuil behnd him and John Dean.

“You’re drawing a crowd, it’s like India” is my favorite quote.

3:48- he wasn’t an ex hells angel lol. He wrote a book about them and rode with them.

That’s hilarious. Too bad he was a perv connected to Lawrence king. I welcome all triggered replies, go!

What everyone misses about Thompson (since no one reads him; they’re “inspired” by him) is that drugs ruined his writing. He was better when he mostly stuck to alcohol and weed. When he graduated to massive quantities of coke, acid, dope, speed, it was over . Fear and loathing was GOOD not even great. His writing had already greatly suffered and had no value shortly after

Funniest place to imagine HST was...was when he was at the Barry Goldwater selection of Republican nominee. He knew someone in Pinkerton Security as a friend, and got FULL ACESS. All of this not too long after JFK's Assassination. I love though how he, and Nixon shared Mr. Dick's limo, & spoke, but had to ONLY TALK FOOTBALL. I would've asked Nixon if he was aware of the Native Americans Influence in the game..it's actually quite important. + @ 40:07 :p LOLAnd as a special mention to those interested like me whom are reading & want a drink that supports USA troops and is historical & those who like damn fine Irish whiskey i'm not being paid but paying to have a damn fine liquor= The Fighting 69th Regiment: Irish Whiskey. Especially & ironically during this St. Patrick's time of the year. I AGAIN PROMISE THIS IS Not for profit {No Ad} just a tip to like minded enthusiasts. Know it, or don't, but honestly / truly I'm damn glad I do. It's a good liquor, though also I know of "Flying Dog" which uses Ralph Steadman's Art & was of transcendent taste of normal drinks also...just it's not as available as it used to be in southern states.

To even FATHOM HOW we {USA} have allowed WORSE people in the White House Than Milhouse NIXON speaks VOLUMES to how CORRUPTION+ POWER Practicaly makes it LEGAL .. & seemingly even OVERTLY ADMIRED. Whomever who "leads the nation" should be ADMIRABLE as a HUMAN BEING of DIGNITY not basically a damn MOB BOSS. Sorry, not trying to talk "politics" but IDEALS, and LOGIC here.
