How about the ibogain and Senator Muskie and the neo-American boohoo? His fantasy about cutting the toes off Frank Mankewitz? The ride with Nixon in 1968? Getting his press credentials from … Pat Buchanan!

The “Neo-American Church” BooHoo was Peter Sheridan, who later became a roadie for the Grateful Dead, and was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1979. Pretty much everyone who met the guy, from HST to John Perry Barlow, said that he was the most insane person they’d ever met outside a rubber room.

As for Thompson: it’s tragic that he became a nihilistic moonbat and self-caricature in his last years, and ws callous enough to off himself in circumstances where his family would immediately find his bloody corpse. R.I.P., and God’s mercy on him.
