That was a much better article, thank you.
And though I agree with at least part of the thesis of the article linked to the bottom of yours - the part that points out that Thompson eventually became a law and order Republican shill and did not make that particular transformation as gracefully as one might hope - the rest of that other article is a classic case of missing the point.
Anyway, Fear And Loathing On The Campaign Trail is my pick as The Book To Read for insight in the modern political machine. It's an unequalled education in the subject, and one of the few books I can fearlessly recommend to every single person on this forum. Not only has it barely dated at all, but in the early stages of the last election, it was very easy to see Bush/Dean recasting the Nixon/McGovern spell. It's hilarious, horrifying, and cold-sweat thrilling.
As long as we're at it, I'll go ahead and declare the new prose contest topic for Cabaret Voltron: Compose a eulogy for Hunter S. Thompson. I'll be posting more details and deadlines by the end of the month. The winners of the Zseni's Choice prize for the last contest(s) will get a copy of Fear and Loathing On The Campaign Trail fresh from amazon.com. Actually, and fairly obviously, Mischief Maker won for the unsubmitted Barbie And Veronica "Dark And Stormy Night" story posted here. So set up that there amazon account if you haven't already, MM!
I'm awarding myself the prize for best entry in the second contest (about albums), and my prize was a copy of the "Withnail And I" DVD. Congratulations me! |
