    Woody Creek, outside of Aspen Colo. Woody Creek Tavern sat down in a gully, more or less, on the left side of the road. I don't recall if the road was dirt or paved. Drive past the Tavern and up aways was a road to the right, really a lane. And on that lane was where Thompson lived in Woody Creek. I stayed in Woody Creek, a neighbor of Hunter, a few times since I provided business services to a client who also lived on that lane. One morning about 7:30, I walked out of my guest house, headed for breakfast at my client's house. Down the lane from my right walked the tallest, thinnest man I have ever seen. Hunter, attired in a white summer suit and panama hat. Delightful.

      He was as far from insane you could possible get. To follow on the most accruate, least factual "train".. From his haze of booze and drugs he was clear as a day. Taking his life is a hard one, but that was a decision he made decades before it happened. People would attribute it to the booze/drugs, but with this man it was the other way around. The booze and drugs was a risk against him killing himself. His clarity made him carry it out. He was a very special man, you must read alot of him to understand who this wild cat was. I Love America and HST is for me the country embodied in one single person. From him I got to understand the USA from Montana, to Kentucky, via Texas to Florida. Greetings from Europe.

    Seems like every recorded interview with this man ends with “we’ve run out of time.” Even watching them on a screen I feel like an electric tingle of shocking disappointment and sadness span through the entire studios, I see it in the interviewers faces and hear it in the crowd.
    If just one let him speak and screwed the network timer it would’ve paid for itself times ten....This man had so much more to share with the world than what’s written and that’s a heartbreaking thing.
    His interview with Conan is a perfect representation of this...the interview time is up and after the (foolishly UNANTICIPATED) sidetracking in Thompson’s statements that show how wonderfully expansive his mind was and how he wanted to illustrate his experiences in ways FOR US, he does something rare and points out that the whole thing I’m talking about IS THE KINGDOM OF FEAR
