It would be especially poetic if it were a loose cannon.

Read a lot of his books. Smart. He doesn't want anyone pissing on his grave.

Well what about that "academic" nutcase in Colorado? When does he get this honor?

Leave it to Hunter S. Thompson to make a total ASH of himself.

Only Hunter Thompson could get a last request AFTER he died.
I hope they have the foresight to point the cannon at John Denver's house......

FindAGrave reports that his remains have already been scattered on his Colorado property. I happened upon the information...
But seriously, who in the world cares???

His ashes being shot out of a cannon is a great final piece of performance art, but in the true contemptuous Hunter Thompson tradition they should be dipped in a jar of urine and smeared with elephant dung first. I think he would have liked it that way.

His Boston lawyer George Tobia Jr told the Globe the 67-year-old author sat in his kitchen Sunday afternoon in his home in Woody Creek, Colo., stuck a .45-caliber handgun in his mouth, and killed himself while his wife listened on the phone and his son and daughter-in-law were in another room of his house. His wife had no idea what had happened until she returned home later. Some dignity.

Hunter Thompson was a very talented, albeit limited writer. His novels were dreadful.Hell's angels was excellent, The letters and essays he wrote early in his career are excellent.His works as a miltiary sportswriter without any training were excellent.His South American journalism and letters to William Kennedy are brilliant.His early, anger driven correspondence about the shortcomings of the "USA and its rotarians" is also brilliant. If he did not seek to become a self created cult figure I think he would have thrived.His biggest downfall was recognition by the talentless and mean-spirited Gary Trudeau.
