My issue with Hunter is that he tried to get a snuff film with a child made at Bohemian Grove. The camera guy turned him down but he probably made it with someone else. Look into this guy.
@@appletongallery geez man u kidding.
That's some serious sick shit. Ill look into it
It must be nice to be rich enough to be yourself. But then again as some of us get canceled by our present culture, Thompson sadly canceled himself.
He's a writer not a talker and his writing is brilliant. "Sex without love is as hollow and ridiculous as love without sex." HST
I suppose he was entitled to his crazy opinions...but he was only considered "brilliant" by liberal half-wits such as Rose.
M.r. Moon because you're in a position to actually pass judgement of what's constituted as brilliant? mr. moon, just by the way you testify to a liberal by being such as you said, shows how ignorant you really are. You measure a person brilliance by their political views. some of the smartest individuals ever had liberal like beliefs, proving you to be a lepton sir
Hunter was a "hollow and ridiculous" loser.
Better a troll than an unimaginative swine lacking anything clever to say.

“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams.
...Tell that to all the mistakes and ruined relationships haha
damn thats a solid line
“Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously.”
― HST
Strangely though he looked like the Dalaï-Lama...
Poor guy.
I can’t help but to totally admire this man. He knew exactly what he was doing and doing it on his own terms is a great accomplishment
Except for the whole suicide while his family was in the next room. He had some major flaws.
He and Hemingway and Kerouack lived their own way. 😎
J.K. Simmons would be excellent if cast for a Thompson biopic.
i was literally scrolling through the comments to see if anyone else had written this, if not, i would have. lol.
I think John Dunsworth AKA Mr. Lahey from Trailer Park Boys would be perfect.
mikallink his scalp could play hunters scalp. Bout it
He'd probably do a great job with his overall presence, but his personality? Not sure about that.
Tom Noonan would too
Cant get enough of Hunter's interviews. Most people write him off as a drug crazed maniac, while I think there is something very unique about him. He actually took risks in his career and that set him apart from other writers and artists of his day.
In 99 I was 18 and I bought every one of his books that I could find in the book store. I read his stuff so much that it changed the way I talked. I started writing letters to friends. I read more. Somehow I bettered myself as a result of reading HST. At least for a brief period of time.
My arse
If you did not experiment with every drug and every drug combination , you failed . If your going to do something , give it your all man.wtf.
@@dereksmallsuk SOCSS ER🍌
…
he went and went to move
Legend
Dude has actually gone to Infinity and beyond
...and came back to tell the tale.
His opinion on the draft was interesting. "It civilizes the military." That's a good point; rarely made if ever.
The Sentry ; 🤣
Agreed. I have never even considered that point of view.
When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.
Dayman Nightman and then die,I miss him,wish I was where he is😭😇💔🕊💫
This makes me wonder what a Hunter and Keith Richards Dayman cover would sound like, complete with pig squeals.
When the going gets tough the tough get going
@@nilsify no.
@@Mastermindyoung14 what? Why?
I miss Hunter. This has him more open and vulnerable than a lot of other interviews.
Agree fav interview
Brad Wood I miss Hunter too😭😭😭😇💫
LEGENDS NEVER DIE!
for me he's almost impossible to understand when he's mumbling but his work is unlike anything else I have ever read.
All depends on the specific cocktail of drugs of the day. I think in most of his interviews he was to amped up to be loose and open up. This day he had a good groove going on.
The older I get, the more I get Hunter S. Thompson.
That should be on a shirt
Yeah. I thought I understood Fear and Loathing 20 years ago, but now I really feel like I lived my generation's version of it.
Also Mark Twain....😮
Hunter was a rock and roll star that never sang a song
True nigga words right there wastelandsodaPop
actually, he did. google "weird and twisted nights"
Walk Away, Renee
RIP both of them. I used to drink beers and smoke pot in my garage every night for years and years and there was no cable out there so this is one of the only channels I got. I remember watching this when it happened on my old Magnavox
@@jazzfan67 he was 🙄
He was what? Also what a story; like it was a different time
Johnny depp did such a good job playing him in Fear and Loathing, the voice is spot on
Charlie Rose is a genius conversationalist. It makes him a masterful journalist. It seems to me that he draws hunter into conversational comfort. Hunter responds well. That is a marvel
HE IS A RAPIST!!!
Charlie has clearly been drinking before this
I read “The Proud Highway” around the time it came out by finding it in the library. It made me laugh so hard out loud the way Celine did. He showed before he got famous that he was clearly so awake and audaciously conscious of his own destiny. Poor and broke, he still had a sense of his own genius and self-worth.
Poor and broke are the same thing
@@ThommyofThenn - I think with $100 you might be poor. Without ithat, you are broke. He came from humble beginnings and had little to show.
@@owenwilberforce6138 ok so poor is like you have enough for food but not much. And then broke is like you have literally 0 money. I can agree with that
Great book. Hilarious
Born in the Bible Belt at the bottom of the Great Depression.
HST is very honest. He knows he wasn’t the best person, but also that he produced great work. His addressing of karma was interesting, fitting and insightful.
The comments are sometimes more insightful than the interviews.
But what is the definition of best person?
@@TorontoIam e
P :.
Watching him listen to what he wrote is a trip.
🤣
same. I think he recalls the letter very well, he couldn’t time his upturned palms at 21:00 any better as if to say “here it is.”
You can tell Rose loves HSTs work and really couldn't wait to interview him
Yeah, Charlie Rose-disgraced journalist who was found out to be a sexual predator! No wonder he liked this guy.
I recommend "The Great Shark Hunt". My favorite story was when he reviewed the Kentucky Derby. I thought when I retired I would be able to read fun stuff like that. Instead I find myself upgrading my technical skills so I will be prepared to re enter the work force. Retirement is the dream that didn't happen.
I fear it's going to be even worse for us. Unfortunately. The peak has already passed.
It won’t be that bad if you either prepare and be ready for retirement
😕
I liked the the Ali story where he talked to Ali in his room wearing a mask of a demon. Ali reportedly loved him.
Just two good old boys from Kentucky sitting around talking of life.
His reaction to his own excerpts being read to him was awesome
Throwing the pen was hilarious
This is the most endearing Hunter interview I have ever seen. His hard fought wisdom and deep connection to the major movements of his time are exceptionally clear here. He’s among the more lucid and vital American voices of his time and still deeply accessible for future generations.
great comment
Agreed, but its sad that the only thing people know about him is a movie
Love scrolling through everyone quoting HST. Rest in peace precious mutant. Too weird to live and too rare to die. One of God's own prototypes. Never even considered for mass production. #Gonzo
AUTHENTIC
It seems to me like Rose is a really big fan. Lay off people. I don't think it is so much that he is a bad interviewer--more likely Thomson is difficult to talk to. It looks that way to me. I wouldn't have it any other way.
What a strange avatar. I mean... why?
They're both unintelligent liberal losers...pushed on society by the left wing media establishment...MAN!
...self-important twits with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
***** That's right, the liberal media establishment.
CBS, ABC and NBC...you know... those swine.
GENK I'm agreeing full heartedly with this statement. dr. gonzo makes sense in an almost poetic way. years of acid trips and hapless squandering. he's a genius in his own right, though I can't imagine it would be an easy conversation
@mr. moon you're quite the pathetic force aren't you? weak willed, brainwashed and full of your favorite farm animals manure
One of the great writers of all history, and a really fun guy. I actually also admire his adherence to 'The nobility of bailing at will'....He was a titan in a world full of tiny thinking.
Read all his books. Worship his "way" dies same day as my father. Both missed dearly. Thanks
When HST spoke about the rhythm of writing and typing out others works to feel what they were saying. I thought it was genius.
Yeah I always thought that makes perfect sense, if you want to be a musician, you start by learning other people's music that you love. You subconsciously borrow a little bit from your influences and make it your own.
If you've even written for an hour of your life, you'll see it's not even genius, it's just natural. Every piece has it's rhythm. Read it without it's rhythm and you lose everything.
Carlin talks about the same exact thing in his interview with John Stewart.
It’s impressive how brash yet appreciative, insightful, and genuine this man is. You disappeared into his writings.
thank you SO much, this is one of the best HST interviews I have ever watched, Happy New Year!
What an extraordinary man... Thank you for posting this interview. I loved every second of it.
Being a hillbilly , a lazy person basically I just documented it - Thompson
I relate!
19:47 classic move casually tossing the pen behind him
He saved my friend’s life, and I’m eternally grateful for it
Iculus333 unpack that for me^
Happily. I had a friend who was serving a life sentence. She read fear and loathing while she was inside. Coincidentally, she sent him a letter, thanking him for his authorship. He sent her a reply, inquiring as to her circumstances. She told him about how she ended up in the situation she was in, which were anything but black and white, and he was sympathetic to her circumstances. He reached out to some celebrity friends, Warren Zevon, Benito Del Toro, John Cusack, etc, and politicized her circumstances. This in turn put public pressure on the legal system to right a wrong, and his efforts were successful, and now my friend has the gift of life because HST was a man of conscience.
Iculus333 wow! That’s great!! This should be its own separate comment. That’s a wonderful story AND interesting trivia about HST.
Do you know if there’s any documentation of that which still exists?
J A it was a really horrible incident. Google Lisl Auman. There was a documentary made, but I never saw it. It was a bit too close to home.
@@iculus3333 lisl... that was a horrific situation. So glad the greet doc helped win that battle
For her.
That was absolutely great. I hung on every word.
if Hunter Thompson paired that jacket with that shirt, when going on TV, he truly was a genius.
back in the 70's every boy had a shirt like that....
He was a genius because he didn't do that deliberately - he simply didn't give a shit. Anyone concerned with those sorts of trivialities would never be a genius, just a poser.
@@bsmithhammer
I think a part of him did do it deliberately. He was mocking the culture that created him.
Hunter’s argument about the draft should be mandatory to civilize the military just blew my mind.
I can't get enough of this man ..
Have you ever listened to Charles Bukowski?
@@winros3042 he's insightful, but far too weary and dreary. hunter's down to earth demeanor screamed charisma, whereas bukowski's wisdom was muddled in malaise.
Goddamn the world needs Hunter now more than it never has. Hunter was the man.
Beautiful thank you for sharing
My friend and I went to the Scottish Rite Temple in Los Angeles to see Dr. Albert Hoffman give a talk about LSD and how he discovered it etc, we sat on the floor about 10 feet in front of the podium, we recorded it and Hunter sat right next to us and he had a tape recorder also, we talked quite a bit before Dr Hoffman came out, I wish I woud have recorded it also.
Thanks Phil
So, you should haved recorded that talk with Hunter. Didn't you have enough tape..?
@@sekoivu we weren't sure if we had enough tape, we were talking before Dr. Hoffman came out, as it turned out we did have enough tape left, would shoulda coulda ..lol
A Masonic temple, you say?
Such a legend! ✌🏻
Johnny Depp nailed the impression, eh?
Jean Baptiste Lamarck eh, I liked Murray better
Johnny Depp is still playing him... In real life!
@@jenoconnell7358 "Where the Buffalo Roam" is a great flick.
Johnny depp went to live
With him on owl farm for a few months. Hunter started calling him “colonel depp” and they did a shitload of crazy stuff. He touches briefly on it in “kingdom of fear”
honestly no, but depp was incredible in the movie none the less
Im proud of you, Hunter
As a road man myself i am a fan of the great hole.🙏
15:52 the part Mac sampled. Rip 😢
yup.
What a great read, as always. An essential piece of lit if you want to get to know HST from beginning to end. RIPower. ✊
We were somewhere around Barstow , in the middle of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold....
Gotta say tho that the quality of this video is A1
Hells Angels seemed so radical when it came out. Reread it a few years ago. Times have changed
And he was ahead of his
Well, he was an agent of this change. The whole genre of journalism didn't exist before him
People that only know "Fear and Loathing" the movie, need to watch his interviews
“This music go with my funeral” two legends and personal idols of mine. Wish they met or that I could have met either of them! Sadly one was killed 40 years before H.S.T chose to leave us. Glad that Hunter was here before we started killing each other with fentanyl. Their legacies and energy will never die and that’s what matters most to me and I’ll cherish their work till someone eventually kills me too. Gonzo till I’m gone ❤️🙏
So who’s the second legend?
What a class interview professionally done. Little do you see the genuine enthusiasm for a job when you get to interview the most interesting people
They’re clearly both been drinking. More the interviewer
I spent a lot of time with this book about 20 years ago. It's fantastic. It's good for perspective on history and it's good for your reasonable and rebellious soul.
What a beautiful human being Hunter is. Charlie and him talk like old friends
Unless you're doing it for a laugh, don't even bother enabling subtitles/closed captioning.
OMG now i cant watch it without the CC's!! lol
Did business w/ Rose when he was running the CBS affiliate in Dallas. And he impressed me as a no-bullshit guy. So, as far as I'm concerned it a couple of no-bullshit guys bullshitting & certain in worth the watch.
"...a psychotic episode, where you believe the authorities are really on your side..."
amazing
Hunter’s method of copying other writers- this works. I’ve copied pages from Hells Angels, Fear and Loathing, Fahrenheit 451, screenplays like Annie Hall and Jaws. Nothing tunes up your writing like reading and copying other writers. Even if all you want to do is write better emails. Copy the writers who’s voices resonate with you the most and you will see your writing grow by leaps and bounds.
Yes!
Ok.
I find it to be similar with building, modifying, and painting cars. You copy those you aspire to be like and you can learn so much by just mimicking them. I reckon it is similar with a lot of things.
@@randymiracle4958 I think it's not mimicking. It's getting to know the artist, getting inside their head
@@SakariHapponen I couldn't think of a better word but we are on the same page for sure.
This was podcasting in the 90s
Charlie Rose was a great precursor to modern podcasting
Some may never live, but the crazy never die...HST
Lilian Oconnell no one in the near future will forget that mans name he was a madman inspiration to nerds and weirdos forever
This is back in my algorithm after a 6 month offseason.
What a cool guy. Wish I could've met him.
He's into snuff movies.
Love the handshake at the beginning
Me too a true Gentleman.
HST is the only person beyond family that I remember exactly where I was when I heard he had died. It was a Kennedy moment.
There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.
“I know what happens to you, me and everyone else, When they supposedly die, It’s this passage around the great loop”
"Passage around the great loop" 🤯
He was amazing
One wonders what alchemy he concocted to arrive at that revelation…
The whole thing with Hunter S. ..Fascinating.
Gonzo writing.
Humans on the planet 60,000 years and Hunter S. invents a writing style. And a journalism style.
Genius, madness, talent , luck.
And balls
Like Sellers , Moon , Brian Wilson, many more.
Mental and genius.
Everyone needs to understand something... a alter ego is just a way of being able to say the things you really want to say without any accountability and speak the real truth.
The Hit Lister and you use yours to say that?
Wasteful.

I think you may have taken my comment on hunter the wrong way? What's your take on my comment?
The Hit Lister I don’t believe in alter egos. They are false.
Gary Glitter fucked kids via his alter ego, the singer and performer, but Paul Francis Gadd did the time, the person, because he was the fuck up.
He paid the price for his alter ego’s actions because alter ego isn’t real. 🤷♂️
Ego is dangerous enough, an alternate ego on top of that is a psychiatric adventure.

What a legend, I went to journalism school after reading The Rum Diaries.
What a #drug addict
Are you still in school?
I just bought a copy yesterday at a second hand store.
Life has a expectation of you but it's steeped on by fear this man lived his way open minded and truly Free depending on who you ask
best interview i found , so far with Dr. thompson
I dig the shirt
Charlie did a great job on this interview! I really enjoyed it ! this man is hard to understand but I heard 95% he has had a interesting life that's for sure !
I’d loved to have been in trunk of the car headed to Las Vegas with HST and his buddy.What a trip.😎
He should have kept going with that lords of karma talk that was wild 👀
CR totally did not want to hear it. was not ready
@@zacm6173 what did he say and mean can someone tell me plesse
i love you
genie...
for my 3rd wish..
I SET YOU FREE
There will never be another like him
Bs there's plenty of pedophile's
"Tragically short of incoming" - that made me chuckle
What a legend!!
He said we'd still be in the Vietnam war if there hadn't been a draft. That's why we've been in Afghanistan for 20 years.
Yea,and abt too pull out and do it all over again,war is money
And look at us now, finally leaving and Afghanistan no better off.
@@georgezuniga6298 the Middle East is way worse. All the region’s checks and balances fucked

"I'm a road man."~HST
Same here bud.
This great man passed on the same day as my Dad ❤two heroes 😊
Ahh 1997 When no one got to offended, the unibomber of journalisms
Whats the score here ?
What's next
He is/was a Brillant man. His satire and wit and storytelling are second-to-none. But years of drug and alcohol abuse have taken its toll on this great man. Trying to listen to him mumble and fumble through his words are heartbreaking.
This was someone who I would have loved to just sit and talk with for a whole day.
23:40 he reads his own writing out loud.
My dream was to get drunk and high, atop a mountain, with Hitchens and Hunter S! In a heated bar of course😂🇬🇧
It hurts to be a road man. I've been there over and over. I do feel that I couldn't have been anything else.
Love this guy
For everyone saying Charlie Rose is a bad interviewer who asks boring questions... I think most of what he asks is quite simple and open ended. His very simple questions lead to more elaborate and complex answers due to their vagueness. I think he's great because of this.
I have no idea why I ever revered Charlie Rose the way I did as a younger person. Some of his questions could've emanated from a baboon's ass. "Did you use your talent well or squander it?" HST is one of the most iconic journalists ever, and widely regarded as a fantastic writer.
I watched one of his interviews with Vonnegut recently, and he acts similarly foolish, to the point that Vonnegut says "Do you do this to all your guests?". And he wasn't being humorous in saying that to Charlie. He was essentially telling Charlie, "you aren't listening to me", in his own way of saying it.
To live with Honesty and ownership of oneself in achievement and perceived failure is the way of the Hunter.
No time for doubt.
Gotta keep moving.
So good
15:30 perfect example of why I love this dude
He (ashes) was shot out of a cannon when he died. He specifically requested this in his Will and Testament.
No big deal, so was I.
Yep, and Johnny Depp was the guy who fired the cannon.
@@WinChun78 And Johnny said in interview that he was the only one stupid enough to do it.... LMAO!!!
@@luannmblueheart9316 didn't johnny said, "crazy enough to do it"?
@@sekoivu I have lived in the Woody Creek region of the Roaring Fork Valley (from CO) for the past 6 years... I have heard so many different versions of this story. I've seen several interviews of Johnny talking about this... Crazy / Stupid... He spent 3 million dollars fulfilling that wish.. He had to wheel & deal with Pitkin County to get this done... it was not an easy task. But, he got it done, at great expense!! It could go either way. ;)
Road man for the Great Lords of Perma. Or Permit? The Great Loop. I never heard him talk about this. I wonder what he was talking about.
I like how all hosts and people who interview him are unsure of how to precede. It’s like they’re dealing with a violent child they don’t want to set off. Or a baby tiger cub.
He’s hard as fuck to understand here. Props to Charlie Rose for being chipper and smiling and playing with him, having fun in the interview.
“Karma” he’s talking about being judged for this lifetime and returning as what you deserve. Nothing complex.
