Hunter S. Thompson

Hunter S. Thompson
Somerville Theatre, Somerville, MA
13 April 1989

Hunter had two shows this night.  I attended the second alone.  As we all waited, herded together like cattle, I heard one of the theatre’s employees speaking to another that Hunter needed another bottle of Chivas.

Well, I think it is safe to say that he didn’t.  Hunter was absolutely drunk.  It was a scream.  He fielded lots of questions.  One guy from the balcony (I was just a few rows back from the stage) drilled him about the cost of the tickets to listen to someone who is incoherent.  Hunter took him to school.

Also blogged on this date . . .
