I love Some of HST writing, Hells Angels, F&L Las Vegas, and F&L 72.
But he was a self-indulgent baby-boomer who had good luck to be born at the right time. He was too old for Vietnam, too young for Korea and WWII. The economy and housing prices allowed him (and fellow boomers) to spend the 60's and 70's taking drugs and having fun.
In the 80's reality set in, and HST couldn't do anything except rewrite the same old nonsense.
Physically he died last week, but his writing ability and politics died of old age 25 years ago

He could've taken the edge off all this morbid fascination of his life if he'd said:
"Excuse me, while I kiss the sky"
