Many thanks to James Campion (Gonzo Journalist, Author, and Pop Culture Satirist) for allowing me to post this here for all to see. It is an interview Campion did with Wayne Ewing after the release of Breakfast with Hunter.  I think you’ll find it interesting. There is a lot to learn about Wayne’s relationship with [...]

It would seem that Wayne Ewing has out-done himself with his latest trip down Hunter S. Thompson lane. Already I have received a couple of reviews of Animals, Whores & Dialogue, and the word is good.

July 18 1937. A day the world of journalism and reporting will never forget. The day a journalistic behemoth entered this world, hell-bent on breaking all the so-called rules and putting anyone who deserved it (and some who didn’t) in their place. Hunter S. Thompson’s presence is still felt even now, just over 5 years after his [...]

While digging through my piles of stuff I came across this great picture by Dan Winters for an article in Rolling Stone magazine by Chris Heath. The article was called Johnny Depp’s Savage Journey, about Depp’s and Hunter Thompson’s trip through the movie of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. The article appeared in Rolling [...]

This came in to post today from the very kind John (AKA savagehenry 101) in Australia. It is an anthology published by The Australian Marijuana Party called A Dozen Dopey Yarns Tales from the Pot Prohibition by one J.J. McRoach. Published in 1979. It includes an account of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson’s Australian tour 1976. [...]

Anyone who has not heard of Edaurdo Jones probably will soon enough. He has been described as a writer in the vein of Hunter S. Thompson. I believe that description may no longer be feasible. That is not a bad thing, he’s just evolving from the HST vein to the Edaurdo Jones reality. What is [...]
