Gonzo
I tend to do my best writing while watching “The Price is Right.” Seeing the stupid contestants trying to guess what to bid on a showcase or spin the big wheel is always entertaining. But that’s not the focus of my entry.
Yesterday, the pioneer of gonzo journalism shot himself. I loved his column on Page 2. The one I remember the most would be the one about the 2002 NCAA basketball tournament on how bad Wake Forest did, losing in the second round and how he would send plagues of bugs to Winston-Salem to get us back in shape. Let’s hope that somebody gets “The Rum Diaries” made into a movie soon. I love “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” and would love to see Hunter’s life on film again.
