A sad piece of news just breaking: counter-culture author Hunter S. Thompson has reportedly shot and killed himself:
Hunter S. Thompson, the acerbic counterculture writer who popularized a new form of journalism in books like “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,” fatally shot himself Sunday night at his Aspen-area home, his son said. He was 67.
This is breaking news, so I’m sure further information will be forthcoming.
