I saw something written by Ralph Steadman recently which I think is pobably quite fitting it was 'With regard to whether HST is in heaven or hell...well he'll probably try out both and then find Richard Milhouse Nixon, and stay there, because HST can not be bored even in death.' He is an incredible loss to the world of journalism, and I can only hope that I'll be half as good as him one day. I pity those who will never get the chance to live in the world with Hunter...he is an inspiration to every one, that life should be lived the way you want to. I read a little while agao, in a review that he was a sick and depraved man...this is NOT true, he has an incredibly unique view of the world, and one that should be cherished, not sneered at. HST will live forever in his works, because they are timeless, and in the hearts and thoughts of his fans. i for one, am not in any hurry to forget him. RIP Hunter-although not really your style, and good luck finding Nixon... This man was the best non-fiction writer I have ever read.

You should ask that question to an expert, someone like Christopher Locke - The man who brought Gonzo from just journalism to marketing and now blogs.
