Jack Nicholson, women love him and his raspy croak, men wish he wasn’t so cool. Whenever I see his picture I think of Randall Patrick McMurphy, Ken Kesey, Elk hearts and Hunter Thompson.  Hunter and Jack were good friends even if Hunter did put Jack through some nightmares. Nich hst

One of their first meetings involved Hunter pulling out a gun, and Jack jumping through a window in fear for his life. Another episode involved an elk heart, flares, spotlights and Jack’s front porch. The story is called  Fear and Loathing at Jack’s House. The Loneliest Place in the World. It’s published in Kingdom of Fear and Happy Birthday Jack Nicholson.

They thought a lot of each other, they were friends and neighbours. Jack said of Hunter “He was a very gentle guy with a lot of problems and I guess he never found the right way to share them.”

In memory of The Good Doctor Jack drew two portraits of Hunter (right). The one on the left is inscribed “All Were Not Wrong” and the other is inscribed “How’d Ya Like The Elk Heart”

    He should stick to acting…

    But this is nice to see, though. Nicholson’s comments in ‘Gonzo’ by Wenner & Seymour were less comical.
