Colorado is weird in a particularly gonzo kind of way. It is both free thinking and libertarian practical, the kind of place that one politician described, "Where a gay married couple defends their weed farm with automatic weapons." It is Hunt
Curtis and Christopher examine the Trump Trial and the comparisons of this election to "Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72". We come to a sudden realization. It is actually 1968, all over again.
From Shirley Chisholm to Cornel West, Curtis and Christopher return to the "sacred text" of Fear and Loathing '72 and see that the 2024 election seems to be having a similar impact on the Black Vote – in reverse. Could West challenging Biden a
Curtis and Christopher Surrender to temptation and launch our latest 'Linkage Fest' between this presidential election and Hunter's 1972 campaign trail classic. The ticket is punched, the ride begins.
From the over-under on Super Bowl cut-aways to a certain singer and the chances that RFK Jr. gets onto enough ballots to make a difference, Christopher & Curtis cite Hunter's writing and note that the distance from sports to politics grows shor
The Trump victory in Iowa's presidential caucus is tipoff for the 2024 election cycle, and of course that sends us back to Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail, '72. In particular, Curtis and Christoper note that, to see the parallels, you b
Kent Fielding, yes the one from GonzoFest, visits H-G to discuss that San Diego bio-musical. We offer perfectly legal fair-use snippets from the show that you can find on YouTube and ponder the chances that the musical, which is now closed, mig
Jimmy Buffet: An HST Friend and Too Much Fun Club Charter Member Has Left the BoatFrom those stories about wild long-distance bills in Key West to playing backup for Hunter during an Aspen High School book event (there's video and audio... wa
Looking back on hours of Hunter S. Thompson stories, our hosts find that Gonzoland is clearly in good hands, next-generation wise. Also, the wealth of diversity remains strong – and, of course, the credibility of this being The Last G'Fest is a
Ron Whitehead declared GonzoFest 10 "the last and final," but will his protégés carry on the Louisville tradition? Listen how Hunter S. Thompson influences Gen Z to this day, and how the Gonzo spirit shall live on in his hometown – and across t
She was Hunter S. Thompson's first book editor, helping craft the Hells Angels book. She was also a friend and, as readers of her book "Keep This Quiet" know, "special friend." Some even say she was a muse at the most critical time of his caree
Matt Hahn speaks on Hunter's writing style, his fear of failure as a literary motivator, those who knew him (and those who did not), and how the 1996 tribute and the 2010 GonzoFest are bookends of literary legend. Also, Curtis reflects on the h
If terms like "The Hashbury is the Capital of the Hippies" or "Non-Student Left" are triggering for you, then of course you already know (and likely love) Peter Richardson. His book "Savage Journey" looks at Hunter's formative literary years in
LIVE AT GONZOFEST: WHAT'S IT WORTH TO YA?Since GonzoFest is at least part swap-meet, the legendary Hunter-stuff collector and market guru "Jackalope," from the Instagram of the same name, joins C&C to discuss what's hot... and to address a fe
You think you might be a bit OCD on HST? Well, Dr. John Brick is not just one of the nation's leading experts on Hunter S. Thompson, but his dissertation actually tracks the changes and rewrites to Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas. You can start wi
Ron Whitehead, the legendary beat poet and GonzoFest founder, joins Curtis and Christopher to explain the event's origins, serve up some gonzo history and make his case that this is really, truly, no kidding the 10th and last GonzoFest... most
In our first posting from GonzoFest 2023, Curtis and Christopher welcome a scholarly “guru” of modern American literature. Tulane University professor and HST expert T.R. Johnson explains how Hunter may stand as the modern American Mark Twain,
In their first post-pandemic studio gabfest, the H-G crew talks with a GonzoFest organizer about what to expect in Louisville on July 14. Plus: Why does it take Louisville so long to embrace its famous residents like Hunter and Mohammad Ali? We
Those many Hunter S. Thompson campus visits are always the stuff of stories, but not always with the impact you might expect. For one Appalachian American FOC (Friend of Curtis), Jeff Weddle, it seems Charles Bukowski was a much bigger deal --
It's that time of year, when the timeless Fear & Loathing at the Super Bowl gets discovered again and again. It remains a reminder that Hunter S. Thompson began, and ended, his career as a sports writer, and that he considered politics both blo
Matthew Hahn, a 26-year-old writing 25 years ago for The Atlantic, got Hunter S. Thompson to open up about the John F. Kennedy murder, why the Internet feeds TV lust and that Nixon obit — and, oh yes, the Modern Library honoring 'Fear and Loat
The Hunter S. Thompson classic "Fear & Loathing on the Campaign Trail, '72" book was published in 1973, just one of many follow-on impacts of that year on the next. For example one 1973 story involves HST, Franco Harris, ESPN Legend John A. Wal
The votes are finally mostly counted, so how did 2022 reflect the wisdom of Hunter S. Thompson's 1972 classic Fear & Loathing on the Campaign Trail, 72? Fifty years later, the trends are oddly similar including that President Nixon had only sli
Election news during October 50 years ago was such that Hunter S. Thompson more or less took a pass at writing about Nixon v. McGovern, instead musing about a certain werewolf visiting the Watergate. With a look at how the looming midterm votes
Fifty years ago, as September rolled into October, Hunter S. Thompson was returning to the National Affairs Desk from an extended Aspen respite. Then, as now, the November elections really went into high gear after Labor Day, and the accelerati
