Tuesday, February 22, 2005 Another Light Blown Out
Update: When I first learned of Thompson's suicide, the reason I was "stunned" was because he'd made it this long without shooting himself or overdosing accidentally. So, I couldn't understand why he'd kill himself now. Well, apparently he was in tremendous pain--physically.
I received the text of this Rolling Stonearticle by Thompson in an email a few months ago. It's a great read if you have time.
I don't even know what to say about the suicide issue; I'm stunned. Although, Bill says, "If anyone was gonna shoot himself, it was that crazy motherf**ker." Chalk it up to the artist's curse--the price of genius is psychological torture.
