A quick thought on Hunter S. Thompson

Posted 9 weeks ago by Bear

I watched "Buy the ticket, take the ride" an okay documentary on Hunter S. Thompson last night. Watching the movie did drive enough interest for me to watch his appearance on Charlie Rose.

In the overall lackluster interview Rose did ask an interesting question, Have you wasted your talent? What an inspiring thought? Even a man who has reached the level of success as HST could have wasted his talent. It certainly makes me want to put little bit more effort in because I certainly can't compete with the talent of Thompson.

* The interview was lackluster for me mainly because HST didn't bring the same energy and life to the interview as he does to his writing.
