Hat tip Three Point Turn for breaking the breaking news.
Goodbye Raoul Duke
Though I never knew you at all,
You had the guts to be yourself
While those around you faked.
You took life in both hands
And shook it til it made some sense,
Now you've gone and blown it off
Hemingway coup de grace.
Ah damn it. The Man is dead. Rest easy, Hunter.

Its a fantastic warm windless day here in ChCh, IK just woke up and have had the fun of finding this site care of Rodney hide.
And i am going to blister him for losing the centre right victory tomorrow night at a party.
I notice your tribute to Thompson, is similar to the opening lines by Elton John to Marilyn Munro,
Goodbye norma Jean, although i never knew you
