#Final24 #HunterSThompson
"I don't want to live past the age where I couldn't kill myself if I wanted to." Hunter S. Thompson
His non fiction work.
But I want, Growing Old is a true Test of Mental and Physical Strength at a certaint Point where a happy mindset is only reserved for the still hard working and still learning kind of people
True story - my brother is in academia in NYC, and has written a few books. In the mid 90s he had an agent who knew Mr. Thompson. Somehow Mr. Thompson was given a selection of new talent the agent was representing. One night he called the agent and went on a rant how all of the new authors sucked. 'Except this guy 'RC' (my brother) - he isn't full of shit!' My brother considers this the best compliment he ever received.
I know I would consider that compliment the same, what an accolade!
Awesome
Your brother rocks, then.
From witnesses and people who knew Hunter in person, it was super hard to receive a compliment from him.
Write a book about it
Lol whatever you say chief. Pretty sure no one asked.
hanging on at 68, body diminishing, grandkids keep me going.
Ungrateful
I’m in chronic pain constantly and yes it does take it’s toll physically and mentally so yes I do understand how he felt may he rest in peace knowing that his legacy lives on
we have something in common.
Read HOLY BIBLE, Revelation 6:5,6
"...behold a black horse" is coming.
I hate giving good people bad news. The evil politicians are hiring "Manchurian candidates" to damage the USA food supply for the creation of starvation. They will control many people through this unless people accept the new slavery money system. Many food factories have been burnt down and are being destroyed in the USA.
⚠️ BUY STORAGE FOODS. BUY SURVIVAL SUPPLIES. BUY CHICKENS for EGG PRODUCTION. BUY PROPANE & GASOLINE, FUELS. BUY GUNS & AMMUNITION TO PROTECT YOUR FOODS.
DO NOT DELAY !
I am too, but why do it when your Son has brought his grandchild for a visit? I don’t judge him for killing himself just the timing of it, could of waited a little while.
Screw this 'don't judge' trends. It was an asshole move@@A-FrameWedge
Same here it sucks but makes u appreciate things
@@CrucialEllamint I do agree with you their
Didn't kill himself out of sadness
That's why I'm not sad when i think of his passing.
He did it because he couldn't enjoy himself like he used to and he loved his time here.
But, did he ever enjoy life here?
This is one reason why the 2nd amendment is so important
@@user-zy3nv1jy1m I think you missed the point of the post
Ive always wondered how much of Hunter's character in his writing is really him. We see this happen a lot in entertainment where the gimmick goes too far and you become who you portray in a novel, song, or movie. Such an interesting paradox of creating art.
When you write, that is the clearest way to see into someone's soul. It comes through...
Amazing point! @@Coopdog1911
I can certainly understand the chronic pain part of his life. It’s horrible, sometimes misery, and causes major depression.
Thanks for sharing this.
Your path is set out long
before you ever walked or crawled it.
I hope you can survive

It has it’s own ,
as we know.
@@canadiancritical2988 shut up hippie wannabe 🚽
It's so nice how the Gov choose to take away Med to help those who suffer with,In chronic pain,like did it slow down much,street drug sales probably went up & took down ppl who just were looking for pain relief & no Rx needed and Dr's not seen its crazy stupid imo.
✌
Hang in there and resolve to keep your spirits up up up no matter what - from a fellow pain sufferer.
since he brought the pain on-no sympathy
He didn't miss much. We needed him more than he needed us
@@brianjansen3103 Ha. Morgan's gone. looks like you tube thinks he isn't needed either.
One can only imagine what a great town Aspen would have become if Hunter had won the election for sheriff. Maybe he would have gone on to become the best president ever
Do we ever.
True words, indeed. I have to wonder how he would respond to the state of political affairs today. His insights would be invaluable.
Needed him for what? Hardly a prophet was he?
Came for his final 24 hours and somehow ended up getting his whole life story...
His last 24 hours were much the same as the previous 24 years. Self-indulgent, thoughtless, boorish as a tolerated cash cow. Turn the self-indulgence, thoughtlessness and boorishness to positive career traits and you can see why his final 24 needed a lot of filler.

How very sensitive of you.
His last book was called, "Kingdom of Fear," I suggest we all read it. It's prophetic.
Very!

Fear is everything
Will do. Thanks ✌🏼 💗
We need HST more than ever. We always needed him, but damn his absence hurts during these ghoulish times.
Having something to live for is what keeps most elderly people going, whether it be a passionate hobby, children and grand children. But I do believe he was somewhat a self centered person who cared more for himself than anybody else. And those early turkey TV dinners were much better than the microwave crap of today.
had uncle that partied with every drug his whole adult life, but he never became addicted. id see him go for weeks and not do anything, then run off and part for weeks on end. when he turned 50 he stopped it all and lived to be 78.
That’s not easy to do.

Ashes have no attachment to the soul. When you kill yourself you are immediately trapped in the lower astral with other ghosts and demonic entities. Not a nice place.

"Counselor". I think it was a multi perspective word meaning a little more to some and nothing to others. One, I think It was Homage to his Friend, Lawyer and Cohort, Oscar Zeta Acosta that went missing searching for his own piece of the American Dream, A brave and adventurous spirit that never found a comfortable landing spot. He hoped to meet him again soon after..Two, It was a way of telling others to keep themselves in check and from time to time, one needs to take council with themselves from the outside looking in, by any means necessary or available to them... and Three, I think It was all of the above as a confirmation of Hope, and A Recommendation to His Family, His Fans and every Citizen in America struggling to Surf the Crest of the High and Beautiful Wave, as He knew, it is even capable of drowning, The Last Wild Buffalo . RIP HST.
The world is ruled by international Zionist banker's, it's time people woke up this fact .
@@alisonhilll4317 Uhh..WTF does that have to do with HST? XD
Honestly I think he wrote it just to mess with them for fun. He was a bullshitter sometimes and I could see him doing that lol
Getting old and dying a slow horrible death is some peoples worst nightmare. Especially people used to living life on their terms. I get it.
Gonzo!😮
For a man who loved drugs, I'm surprised he went out the way he did. I'm a recovering heroin addict but I have to say.. in my old age if I become terminal and/or I'm in a world of constant pain... I'm going out peacefully.
Everyone says that but when you get old no dealer’s gonna sell you dope. Too risky - the customer might die and also could be a narc.
@@AFaceintheCrowd01pure truth
dying from that would not be peaceful believe me

Imagine JRE Experience w/ Hunter S. Thompson ❤
This comment brought tears to my eyes.
A man has a right to take own life he’s lived more in his lifetime then x10 and dealing with constant chronic pain nothing concurrent don’t blame him
Who wants to live forever? Not Hunter!
This is a great piece of content, and to find it for free on UA-cam is amazing. Great job on uploading this, hands down one of the best pieces I’ve seen on Thompson’s life.
This is horribly made what are you talking about. Feels like American cable trash.
This basicly told you nothing of what kind of man he was and all the behind the scenes stuff. Terrible commercial bull$hit
It was a fair piece of documentary work,as television goes. But for his readers like me and many others. It leaves much out. But as a summation of his life and his last 24. There's only so much you can fit in an hour, and HST was so much more.
It’s his last 24 hours and some context as to who he was for any casual viewers, it’s not intended to be a day by day diary of his life.
The music volume is way too damn high.
Thanks for this compilation of the last 24 hours.
The political climate of 2004 post 911 Bush era must have pained Hunter, who as a witness to the hippy dream of 60s knew the possibilities of people coming together, just as much as his hips and aging body.
The Bush Era itself was a total nightmare. His administration repeatedly used false intelligence lies to send us to war in Iraq and tried legalizing torture. And for awhile torture was being used against anyone sent to Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo (no trial, no lawyer, civilians included).
But not all boomers were hippies. My boomer parents certainly weren’t and made my gen x life a misery. But then maybe if more baby boomers had been hippies, the world might have turned out differently.
Excellent documentary. We all have some tormented souls within us.They are handled differently by all.
Too weird to live, too rare to die
@@jimbobb3509 That was a quote from Thompson genius. Funny how you were offended by a clever phrase written by the man you're watching a doc of.
@@commentresurrection1841 LOL w
Worn down like a #2 pencil eraser? That has to be the worst analogy of someone in so much pain and ready to kill themselves I have ever heard. But then again hunter probably would agree.
If only the background music was slightly louder I could hear the interviews
Right?!
😆
It’s interesting how the show recreated some shots from the movie “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”.
Probably his best book I think
Good doc, exept the music is very distracting and too loud.
That was heartbreaking to watch. I've read just about all of his stuff, and 90% of it was nothing short of amazing. The other 10%, well, I think he knew it.
It appears hunter was a expert at the ancient art of keeping some things from the missus
Indeed.
The last part of that documentary, where sondi says hunter was born with the genius, charisma and tortured soul. She's absolutely right about the first two. The last is something he earned by taking on the mission of the American dream. When you search for the truth, I mean the real, underlying truth of what this country was, is or should be. The grisly realities of what you find are enough to crumble the strongest men. He told us the TRUTH, for good or ill, and that truth plagued him, but it's not what led him to suicide. The fact that he just couldn't physically or mentally continue to chase it,that he knew it was too late for him to catch it. That's the final straw, he was smart enough to know that his race was ending and he would rather crash and burn than feebly limp across his finish line in second place. That's what I admire most about him. He pushed his whole life for that, for US. So we would have TOTAL COVERAGE of the REAL story. May he rest in peace and I thank him for living AND dying on his own terms.selah.
What you’re saying is true, and to add on to that, assuming Hunter really did kill himself, I’d imagine that, beyond a personal frustration with declining health, he also felt dismayed viewing the inevitable decline and loss of that brand of personal freedom and the will that he had championed throughout his career. Hunter is an interesting case - one of those people where you can’t quite distinguish what aspects of his worldview were merely projections of his own maladaptive shortcomings or actual profound truth, and it’d seem they were usually one and the same. He was already a man outside of his own time period, so to speak, when he began to get noticed in the 60s, and underneath the exhibitionism and stylistic aspects of his writing there was usually a tone like a watchman crying out in warning, trying to alert people to the fact that things were changing for the worse, and something unspeakably precious was disappearing - that ability to think for yourself, conduct your own affairs, and deviate without attracting panic or scorn on the part of larger society. Imagine how he must have felt through the 90s and early 2000s, watching America grow increasingly commercialized, digitized, and controlled, and seeing how easily the general masses were willing to accept any change or imposition of increased control so long as they could retain their comfort and security.
Best take on him, in my opinion
yep 20th century fades fast in the age of aquarius of displaced values....
Brilliant video!
I think Hunter came to realize that he was not a likable person, but was an alcoholic, angry, unhappy person that had nothing left to offer anyone.
Then why did he have so many friends as well as have so many who people cared for him and loved him including his family if he was not like able.
He had lots of friends and people who cared deeply for him. If he didn't nobody would have been coming to see him. I know people think he's only unlikable but every human has their flaws and bad sides to them. It's how you control, work and improve on your flaws that is a real test of your character.
Heavy
Ps I'm reading his book Fear and Loathing right now. I read his auto biography a few years ago.
No one would’ve hated this doc more than Hunter
But, was always a little curious.
Not to mention in the series, this, unfortunately was one of the weakest.
thank you for making this video one of my all-time favorite persons the best journalists have ever lived EPIC ❤❤❤❤❤💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜👽👽👽👽👽
I saw the opening night of FaLiLV, midnight showing. I ate an ungodly amount of mushrooms and brought in some rum to mix with my over priced theater soda. That experience took me down the Thompson rabbit hole and since then I've read everything of his I could get my hands on. I love to write now and have written music, treatments and screenplays, and it's all because of HST.
This episode feels a lot more padded out, compared to the others I've watched.

A fascinating video!
It's messed up to have done that after inviting your whole family there
Is the reenactments real? Or are they just that.
I loved him, and read his books, but with no disrespect what did he think after his lifestyle how he was going to feel at 67? If that was going to be his lifestyle forever he should of never had a family at all. God bless him.
you don't understand him apparently. He became a somebody, and his memories allow him to understand the world like nobody you ever knew.
It's sort of an asshole thing to traumatize your entire family like this intentionally
You haven't got a clue so stfu
@@XXXCRSPL He called his family to his property so they could find his brains splattered all over a cabin.
That's not even debatable
I’m glad I’m not the only person who thought that. I get the chronic pain making life unbearable but to actually plan to have his family there for such a gruesome suicide is pretty horrendous
Yep. His son Juan's book makes a lot of stuff really clear that anybody wanting to believe the mythology could do with getting a reality check from.
Rest In Peace Hunter🌍
You can't rest in piece when you kill yourself. You immediately get trapped in the lower astral. Not a nice place. More like being stuck in a nightmare.
Nobody, including his family truly know what was happing between the ears of that man.

This is not his final 24 hours. Call it his final full life story.
What entertainment can be wrought from the imagery of the common man broken and unhinged, lost and given up on.
Alcohol and suicide walk hand in hand.
The background music is overpowering at times but love the content
I was lucky enough to get to read his great works as they were published.
I think do a big disservice by not mentioning the first movie based on his "Fear and Loathing On the Campaign Trail '72"...that Bill Murray was magnificent as Hunter. "Where the Buffalo Roam" should be seen by every Hunter fan.
Unfortunately, it was after that was made that he felt he had to be Dr Gonzo, for anyone and everyone.
I can see the whole, dying at my typing machine "coolness"...but considering who was there, he should have picked a favorite site...outdoors. For all his great qualities, and Southern Gentlemanly manners...he could be a bit self centered, and even selfish. It was just rude.
I've always understood his philosophy of, that when life is no longer fun...choosing your own time, and way, to go.
I'm a Disabled Vet, and I have suffered in undertreated pain for 30 yrs now...I've only stuck around this long for my son, who I raised alone from the time he was 10. I figure that when the time is right, I'll know it.
Who knows...maybe I'll get to compare notes with him.
The time will never be "right", don't be a coward.
@@battleborn8658 disrespectful prick. You don't get to police people's thoughts, feelings, or pain.
Thank you for your service, Sir. I'm sorry you live in such pain. The way our vets are treated in this country is reprehensible to me.
Is it your choice to live with untreated pain? Or is the VA not treating it like they should be? I know they loosened up the pain killers in the mid 90's till the early 2000's until they went the other way.
Similar boat, USMC Purple Heart recipient combat vet raising my son alone. I was intent on getting him a house and a large life insurance policy to prepare for the inevitable. That all changed once I found out people were not just betting on me to do that, they wanted that outcome! I’ll still get him a house and a life policy (in escrow till he’s of age, fuck you greedy cunts!), but I WILL NEVER, EVER, leave this world by my own hand! You’re gonna have to kill me you bastards!
It's near impossible to fathom chronic pain he was in in his final days
JJ skywalker It is certainly not impossible to fathom the pain he was in when you have it or seen people with it .

I loved how he poured his bourbon in his grapefruit to start off his day. Glad left this soil on his terms. He was in a lot of physical pain.
I’m pretty sure that was a bottle of Grand Marnier he poured on the grapefruit, which actually sounds quite good as a dessert… with a glass of bourbon on the side and a tray of pastries. Not sure why he mumbled “protein”… What a unique take on the “breakfast of champions” idea…
He was also crumbling mentally. People could hardly understand what he said when he talked.
Im curious if he even tried oxys or other opioids for his pain.. I mean I'd imagine.
@@Gameboy-Unboxings Of course he did. He knew his drugs very well.

@@ehhhhhhhh2233 lmaoooooooo
And Hunter was just that type of person
That's just the type of guy he was lol. The way he went out is literally 'the' way he'd make himself going out
I’ve read that Thompson had been writing an article that challenged the accepted hypothesis for what occurred on 911 & why. Supposedly, he had told some close friends of his that he had seen strangers on or around his property outside of Telluride, CO that was causing him anxiety & concerns that were something other than that of paranoia.
Apparently, he had told those aforementioned friends that if he turned-up dead from an apparent suicide that they should know that he was suicided. This information I’d read was in association w the 911 Truth Movement. It had implied that he was among a list of individuals that were made to disappear or had been suicided due to their roles in questioning the accepted 911 hypothesis.
Thompson was still a man that a great number of people listened to, & his written work, they read.

So many creators make that mistake , putting music in that is way too loud when there is really no need for any music whatsoever
You forgot to mention the 1980 movie he made "Where The Buffalo Roam." Bill Murray played Hunter.
I wonder if he actually typed with 2 fingers. If so I feel a bit better about myself. It kind of parallels jack London's final days. Jacks writing's at the end of his life are very similar. I either read or heard on a video that hunters son and his wife thought the gun shot that killed him was a book dropping on the floor which if you try that and it lands flat on a hard surface, it does sound like a gun.
I'm infinitely jealous of this kid that Hunter invited to stay and write and film with him....And I was 20 in 2004 god dammit lol

During his last years, Hunter became very close to Johnny Depp. After he passed, Depp paid to have Thompson’s ashes shot into space as Hunter wanted!

Details are not important
I want to know the truth. What were the big differences?
i think he checked out at the right time, worlds fucked now. note to whoever edits these videos, can you turn the background music down, loads of time you cant here the interview over the music
No mention of Papa Hemingway? Hunter wrote an essay about why the old Author bought the farm in Ketchum. Died same way. He did all his good writing by the time he was 40. That SHARK HUNT compilation very funny and a good read. After that, it all downhill.
"He was worn down physically and mentally like the eraser on a number two pencil" Yeah you can definitely tell that dude is a writer from that corny line.... Lmao 😂😂😂
LMAO! I thought the same thing. I was like how many times did that loser rehearse that pathetic line. I laughed so hard! Loser!

He didn't want his story to end with him growing old being forgotten, he thought suicide was a more badass ending to the Hunter S.

Hey me too Tisha!
Creativity isn't something you can schedule or control. That's why I tried to make a living in science. The thing is that the thing that lets some of us make a unique, and therefore valuable, contribution to our society is that sporadic creativity. The problem is that we don't have a world that facilitates the kind of freedom from time constraints and having to do something to get enough money to survive in order to allow people the time for their creativity to manifest itself. If the basic necessities of people were met by our society, then we'd find out how many truly creative people we have and we'd get the benefit of that creativity, which could very well rescue our species from the dead end hell hole that we've created by forcing everyone into slavery under the yoke of time and the need for basic resources. We're really shooting ourselves in the foot by doing this because there are so many revolutionary discoveries came to us as the result of a wild hunch that turned out to be true or an accident/mistake during some sort of experimental process that lead to so many absolutely important discoveries that made life for us better. This stifling of everyone's creativity is going to get us all killed.
So true, it is exactly as the greatest minds have pointed out that the solution requires more than just a smidgen of creative thinking. But what morons think is what a bunch of bigots who are disguised as narcissists consider to be 'creative' and so it is a matter of opinions and people taking sides and feeling safe in thier group mind of how there is strength in numbers within the same bracketing or parenthesis, and how these relationships create barriers that are unreasonable or even irrational. But this is what happens when a zillion people attempt to climb a rope up into an empty vodka bottle that God is holding inside a cloud somewhere up in the skies...
Shut the hell up hippie, and you suck at writing Mr Science 💩
Maybe the answer is this world doesn’t deserve creative people or the nice things they try to bring into creation? If the world doesn’t facilitate and grow our creative aspects, a result of nature enacting conscious on us then maybe this world already failed?
@@helmepodesarius2198 This is probably true but what should we do and where can we best use the talents that we have? Humans do seem to be being who think they are so smart whilst refusing to admit those aspects in which we are absolutely not. I just don't know what to do about it.
@@whoever6458 yes I am dumb.
