Hunter Thompson and Conan O'Brien

Booze, Guns, and Hunter
This Conan O'Brien interview with the late Hunter Thompson is  classic.  The only way Hunter would appear on Conan's show was if the taping was done on a farm in upstate New York, with whiskey, guns, and targets enjoyed by all.  A joy.

Alcohol, tobacco, and firearms should be a convenience store chain, not a government agency.

The butler as armorer/bartender was a nice touch. He'll have an interesting resume when he applies for his next job. "Well, I poured shots and loaded shots."

That last target at the end was the killer.

I believe that Conan almost tossed his cookies when he took that shot. If it effected me like that i would not drink it that way.

1. What kind of Irishman is Conan if he cain't swig his whiskey???
2. Damn, looks like O'Brian can handle his weapons! Who'd a thunk?
3. So, Hunter first killed himself in effigy (pre-suicide)with those gun shots to his book?
4. That finale cartoon was great. Your's? nice touch

True story: Hunter was a BIG Amazing Rhythm Aces fan. In the late seventies, he invited me to stay with him at Woody Creek for a week or so. About halfway through the week, Hunter noticed a transformer on a powerpole that wasn't there the day before, and, looking closely through bi-nocs, there was a camera lens pointed directly at his front porch. (it didn't even have ANY wires coming to or from it!) We went back in and thought about it - until around 3 in the morning, when, ussens being shit-faced by then, we went outside and merrily blew the holy snit snot out of the "transformer" with Hunters Model 29.. Never heard a word from the 'power company' about any disruptions.

True story. Hunter blew his brains out in the kitchen while his son and granson were in the adjacent room. While he was on the phone with his wife. He spent the last years of his life in tinfoil hat land insulting the President.

He jumped the shark 30 years ago and was never more than a drug addled, publicity whore. Right up till the end.

And actually past the end as his funeral was another testament to his self serving, egotistical life. Eff him.
