GUEST,Bat Goddess	Obit: Hunter S. Thompson (21 Feb 05) (62* d)	RE: Obit: Hunter S. Thompson (21 Feb 05)	21 Feb 05
Funny, it was just last week that I looked up that quote -- "The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." But the quote wasn't always about the music business -- sometimes it was corporate communications, show business, radio or TV. About.com found the original quote -- And it was from "Generation of Swine: Tales of Shame and Degradation in the '80s," published by Summit Books in 1988. There, on page 43 Thompson had written: " The TV business is uglier than most things. It is normally perceived as some kind of cruel and shallow money trench through the heart of the journalism industry, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs, for no good reason. " The piece, obviously lambasting the television industry, was originally published as a column in the San Francisco Examiner on November 4, 1985. About Linn
