gonzo

All out, first person and live. Writing with extreme subjectivity; just what you see, as if being behind a camera. Taking matters into your own hands and being part of the scene. From the Scottish meaning last person up at the end of the night and still drinking beers. Hunter Thompson taught so many; "I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me." Webster's dictionary says "crazy, bizarre" but there is so much more. To commemorate the author’s accomplishments after he took his own life, Flying Dog Brewery in Denver added another permanent brew to their line-up. The label features artwork by Thompson’s long time friend and accomplice; Ralph Steadman. If you have seen Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas you understand. Before shooting Johnny Depp moved into Hunter’s basement and lived with the outlaw journalist to study his behavior in-order to righteously portray the man known as the Good Doc.
Just another failed experiment in gonzo journalism.

Good God, Don’t get gonzo on me now!

Severely rattled from the terrifying hallucinations, I turned in my paper just before deadline, in true gonzo fashion.

On top of the mountain, we are all snow leopards.

Anything worth doing is worth doing right.

He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.
