Tribute to Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
Pope just dies, and there's much coverage worldwide on his burial ceremony.
All the traditions, all the procedures, and all the people coming to Rome to watch his burial.
Not long ago, back in Feb to be exact, 2 public figures took own life, one here in America, and another in Seoul, South Korea. Lee, Eun-ju, who killed herself by hanging in Seoul was a young girl of 25, and was actress. The other who took his own life w/ gunshot wasn't suffering depression, if you don't count his life-long wrecklessness and drug abuse. He was way over 60s, been married 3 times over, and lived in Colorado, publishing many well known articles in Rolling Stone magazine as well as publishing his books, of which is a famous made-to-movie "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas."
He sure did publish quite a few books, and had fair number of followers at the time of his death. A living icon, so to speak.
