Hunter Stockton Thompson (July 18, 1937 – February 20, 2005) was an American journalist and author, most famous for his novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. He is credited as the creator of Gonzo journalism, a style of reporting where reporters involve themselves in the action to such a degree that they become central figures of their stories. He is also known for his use of psychedelics, alcohol, other mind-altering substances, firearms, and his iconoclastic contempt for authority.

I found this 1977 Boulder, Co discussion that has been floating around and though it does give some glimpse into the troubled, yet fascinating mind of the good Dr. I would say it is not by a long shot the most exciting piece of audio from Hunter.

With that said, have a listen and take what you want from it.

additionally this my first upload here.
my bandwith is terrible so i've tried a small upload to start.
