I received two emails today about a youtube video titled Tales of the Swine Family by Hunter Thompson. They were asking about in which of his books was the story published. It is published in Songs Of The Doomed, Gonzo Papers Volume 3.
The full title is. SUGARLOAF KEY: TALES OF THE SWINE FAMILY Adventure in the Conch Republic . . . Raw and Primitive People, Living Their Lives Like Sharks . . . Today’s Pig is Tomorrow’s Victim.
It is one of my favorites but i have yet to figure out who is reading, but when i do i’ll let you know. What i can tell you though is on the audio book version of Songs of the Doomed, Hunter did start to read it but either got bored or drunk and they had to get an actor to do the reading. Here is the video, enjoy.
Cool find man, loving the site keep it going!
Lloyd Good told me this story many times. It is nice to hear it from Hunters point of view. Yes I am a resident of Sugarloaf Key.
Wow.. So the story is 100% true?
Lloyd Goode was as close to a swine in his countenance as he was in his actions. I was a resident of Sugarloaf Key.
