Then why his praise for kerry, who is the epitomie of the modern left.
"Dupe"
Yeah well, at least the entire thread isn't.
I guess now he is headed to "Bat-country," maybe?
Either a terminal disease, or he looked in the mirror and saw a giant winged lizard with glowing red eyes and 12 inch fangs.
This guy couldn't handle but one year in the Air Force, as a sports reporter, and in Florida no less. What a loser.
"This guy couldn't handle but one year in the Air Force, as a sports reporter, and in Florida no less. What a loser."
Hellz a-poppin'! Imagine if he had never left the USAF?
"Really, that one was much more interesting."
Maybe we'll know more about it the later in the day it gets.

Intro: E D E
(E) B
Well, I used to wake the mornin' before the rooster crowed,
E A F#
Searchin' for soda bottles to get myself some dough.
E B
Run 'em down to the corner, down to the country store,
A E
Cash 'em in, and give my money to a man named Curtis Loew.
Verse:
E B A E
Old Curt was a black man with white curly hair,
(E) B A E
When he had a fifth of wine he did not have a care,
(E) B A E
He used to own an old Dobro, used to play it 'cross his knee
(E) B A E
I give old Curt my money, he play all day for me.
Chorus:
A E E7
Play me a song, Curtis Loew, Curtis Loew,
A E E7
Well, I got your drinkin' money, tune up your Dobro.
A E F#
People said he was useless, them people all were fools,
E D A E E D E
'Cause Curtis Loew was the finest picker to ever play the blues
He looked to be sixty, and maybe I was ten,
Mama used to whup me, but I'd go see him again.
I clap my hands, stomp my feets, try to stay in time,
He'd play a song or two, then take another drink of wine.
Play me a song, Curtis Loew, Curtis Loew,
Well, I got your drinkin' money, tune up your Dobro.
People said he was useless, them people all were fools,
'Cause Curtis Loew was the finest picker to ever play the blues
Ya just got to hate them racist Southern boys! ;)
Whenever I hear the line ...
"Play me a song curtis loew, hey curtis loew
I wish that you was here so everyone would know ... "
... somehow I always get something in my eyes. ;)
Legendary? Hmmmmm . . .
Legendary according to American Heritage . . .
Celebrated in legend.
Extremely well known; famous or renowned.
Yeah, well maybe in the LSD crowd but I suspect MOST Americans have never heard of the guy . . . but it makes for a better story.
Yes.
Don't go to writers for politics, go for their writing.
HELL'S ANGELS and FEAR AND LOATHING are incredible works. Something else has dies with HST.
Who Cares?
It's "epitome".
Kerry Will Come Through (By Hunter S. Thompson)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1266838/posts
This is a quote from one article:
And Thompson's life was nothing if not surprising. He famously and fully embraced an unconventional lifestyle, summing up his attitude to fast living with the iconic phrase: "I do not advocate the use of dangerous drugs, wild amounts of alcohol and violence and weirdness - but they've always worked for me." A firearms fan, he allegedly kept a keg of gunpowder in his basement, and on one occasion accidentally shooting an assistant. Hi major foray into public life occurred in 1970, when he decided that "there might be some serious fun in politics" and duly stood for Sheriff of Pitkin County, Colorado on a platform of drug decriminalisation. The Republican candidate was sporting a crew cut, which prompted the contrary author to shave his head entirely and refer to his rival as "my long-haired opponent" throughout the campaign. He lost by a handful of votes.
