I never particularly clicked with his style, but any man who had that much passion (and that many drugs) deserves to be remembered fondly ....

I heard it on BBC radio on the way home from work. Too bad.

I'm sure millions of teenagers will try to get hold of some acid and kill themselves in his honor.

I once saw him on Conan talking about how he thought his assistant was a bear and so he shot her when she came to his front porch.

R.I.P Its amazing he lasted as long as he did really.

I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me. - Hunter S.

I guess sometimes, you just gotta go. I might have to pick up the Fear and Loathing DVD in memorium.

Jeez, I hope not! I'm running out of reckless drug-addled idols! I'll have to start reading Drew Barrymore books!
