Thread Name: Who's Hunter Thompson
Subject: RE: Who's Hunter Thompson
Hunter Thompson was "all the news that fits" back in the 70's. But that was then. He's still a great read. But what I want to know is who is today's Hunter Thompson? That same shit is still going on. But reading Hunter Thompson is like going to one of those turn of the century farms, where everything looks just like it did back then, but. . .

Who is going to grab today's culture by the hair and shake it around like Hunter did back then? Stand UP!! I want to hear what you have to say about what's happening NOW!!

And if I can't find that, I'll drink my bourbon and watch "Where the Buffalo Roam" or "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" on my DVD player, with my 16 year old son, and I'll try to make sure people don't fall asleep again.
