Short Profile
Primary Works
|
“When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.”
“I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.”
“The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where
thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.”
“Call on God, but row away from the rocks.”
— Hunter S. Thompson
“He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.”
— Samuel Johnson {favorite quote of Hunter S. Thompson}
