Happy 75th Birthday To Hunter S. Thompson–From Flying Dog

From Flying Dog:

Walk tall, kick ass, learn to speak Arabic, love music and never forget you come from a long line of truth seekers, lovers and warriors.

Hunter S. Thompson wrote that advice in a letter to his grandson, Will, in 2005, just days before his death.

So much of what we do is lead by the wisdom and weirdness, insanity and hilarity of our Gonzo Godfathers - Hunter, Ralph Steadman, and George Stranahan. It runs through our veins. It talks to both the angel and the devil on our shoulders. It gets us out of bed in the morning (and often keeps us up at night). And, most importantly, it never fades even as this ever-changing world keeps on spinning.

Hunter would have been 75 today. To quote his beloved wife, Anita: "We all miss Hunter more than a blog post can describe...Here's to a beautiful new chapter, with Hunter in our hearts, with a future bright and right ahead of us."

Correction: The sweet letter that Hunter wrote to his grandson Will was written long before Hunter's death.


Anita Thompson would like to reiterate that this should not be a day of mourning, but indeed a day to celebrate Hunter's life and work. Happy birthday Hunter. We love you...
