Hunter S. Thompson Omnibus 1978 

I thought I was being anal in the first comment I read is yours. I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who doesn't like things to be sloppy especially when they're dealing with our hero

Depp actually spent time with Hunter studied him and did an absolutely fantastic job in capturing his essence masterfully.

Maybe it's this recording, or at least close: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7Cn7ZW8ts3Y.html

@@landwirtschaft2116 Taverner doesn't seem to have any published recordings of Spem before 1978, when the documentary was produced. Also, this particular piece requires an unusual choral setup (40 voices!) & I found most performances sound very similar outside of room acoustics, mic quality etc. Of course, who knows what BBC has hiding in its vaults, so I give you a distinct "MAYBE". :)

Good job Frank. . I didn't see your comment , or I would have not brought it up myself.

Richie Culver

I will use that line (snort). Brilliant.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You hit him on the nail perfect!

If thats not poesi, I don’t know. I applaud you good sir.

QFT.

Yeh he wrote a piece a few days after 9/11 about what he thought would happen, which pretty much predicted the last decade.

Mainstream media find so many ways to dismiss dissenting voices, he swears, he takes illegal substances, he twitches, he looks strange and many people let them take this judgmental stance on their behalf when in actuality if they saw the real personality of many politicians Hunter would be looking pretty good at that point, he knew this too but they knew he was easily dismissed or he would have been shut up a long time ago.

Infinite Paths It was actually written only the day after the attacks on the 12th. It's an amazing piece. "The towers are gone now, reduced to bloody rubble, along with all hopes for Peace in Our Time, in the United States or any other country. Make no mistake about it: We are At War now - with somebody - and we will stay At War with that mysterious Enemy for the rest of our lives. It will be a Religious War, a sort of Christian Jihad, fueled by religious hatred and led by merciless fanatics on both sides. It will be guerilla warfare on a global scale, with no front lines and no identifiable enemy. … We are going to punish somebody for this attack, but just who or what will be blown to smithereens for it is hard to say. Maybe Afghanistan, maybe Pakistan or Iraq, or possibly all three at once. Who knows? Not even the Generals in what remains of the Pentagon or the New York papers calling for WAR seem to know who did it or where to look for them. This is going to be a very expensive war, and Victory is not guaranteed - for anyone, and certainly not for anyone as baffled as George W. Bush. All he knows is that his father started the war a long time ago, and that he, the goofy child-President, has been chosen by Fate and the global Oil industry to finish it Now. He will declare a National Security Emergency and clamp down Hard on Everybody, no matter where they live or why. If the guilty won’t hold up their hands and confess, he and the Generals will ferret them out by force."

jelkel25 Perhaps that was the trick, making yourself dismissable

At this time his bro Brian Doyle Murray (also in the scene) was probably more famous.

He'd joined snl the year before this,a few people probably recognise his face....not many

@@60RPM that and Hunter absolutely hated how he portrayed him in whatever movie he made where he played him (I honestly can’t even remember and don’t think i watched the whole thing but don’t think i haven’t noticed that Johnny Depp’s every character since he played Hunter is the same, just Hunter with a pirate hat or whatever)

Wild I just noticed bill Murray lol what a legend

No. That would be his Samoan lawyer.

Johnny Depp really nailed his character in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, same way of talking.

Well said!

@@bodoor8172hunter Thompson taught Johnny drop exactly how he wanted his words to be read

But. he did die.

im sure he was being slightly comedic when he was in the reptile zoo.

Felderos Some parts he definitely dramatized yeah.

I thought the same thing. Depp sounds almost exactly like the man.

Depp actually lived with Thompson for a few months just so he could get the mannerisms down. They were really good friends outside of their work, as well.

***** So I've heard.

there is nothing more irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depth of an etherbinge, and i knew wed get into that rotten stuff pretty soon.....

Gold.

hows it like?

I'm sorry, but that's such a stupid thing to say:" there's a fine line between genius and crazy". That tells me you really don't know the neurological reason for either

Yes

depp has millions and millions... doesnt make him a good friend you son of a douche. Also depp is a poser. Damn i hate you generic celeb worshipers.

@@Stoney-Jacksman go to bed nephew it’s late

@Jake Stockton hahaha you american celeb worshipers hilarious

@@Stoney-Jacksman you’re awful. Johnny is way better than you.

@@Stoney-Jacksman hates Americans and celebrities. Yet, he watches an American celebrity.

I failed chemistry, is that actually a healthy thing to do?

I shit myself man I try to play shit off like that

It was a joke though.

Chlorophyll? More like _borophyll!_

@@SpongeBath_ShitPants Get out

Johnny Depp has nailed a lot of men.....😁

I was surprised how similar they looked and even sounded when I watched Fear and Loathing and then this, he completely nailed HST

They were friends of course, Thompson even gave depp the haircut for the role!

Lol

my god bruh die he ever lol

Yeah, thought about that too. He would’ve HATED this day and age.

No he wouldn’t. He’d be just as articulate as shown in the video. He knows the world is burning, and he knows he can’t change it.

When he died I thought “no! We need him now!” The closest thing I’ve been able to find is chris hedges as far as the america/political/societal stuff goes but he’s not… I’d be surprised if he ever smoked a joint before. Anyone else got suggestions? And don’t bother saying Rogan because HST would eviscerate him and just no.)

Probably be suprised the world's still in one piece

fr tho

I bet he didn't even hate popcorn, he just didn't wanna be there. "I asked hunter s thompson if he wanted some popcorn in 1970's hollywood and he told me 'no thank you, i hate popcorn.' " someone, somewhere can say that.

I mean, popcorn is over rated.

@@Goochbag8 No it isn't.

I always wondered why I hated popcorn

fuck the lemonade they were sparkin up in that bitch lol

Making $3 a day though?

Jacox "Seems we ran out of film again" "Really already, sheesh I've never seen such lame equipment" This dude would hv loved a sober mind in 2017 but convinced himself he was worn down with nothing left to offer.

Ppl want the duke journalist and thompson needed his own life, a secretive person to enjoy and write about raols whacked escapade living

🕊🤍🕊

That would be the wildest thing ever! You are talking about Lahey, right?

@@glitch1336 Hot damn, yes! :D

General Patton is a good role model

This man is the embodiment of the human spirit*

@@andrews4596 general Patton was a terrible racist , who later would have , in his own fucked up idea of hindsight , would have had the USA collaborate with the Nazis

i got decent whiskey on an economy flight, ciggies there is just rude

Uh, we discovered that those things are killing us...

Good and cheap coke too

​@@LRGDuranback then blow was $100 a gram.

Nice writing!

Man this is one of the best things I’ve read in a long time. Is this yours? Would love to read more.

Ryan amen to that

❤️

Nice

To be fair, I usually have a similar reaction when dropping weed on the ground.

+Gordon Freeman dont we all?

Thrusty Puss

been there

"Did you see what GOD just did to him?!?"

tht shit was great

Hunter You Always take me back to Vegas like no one before

but its so salty and delicious

I hate popcorn too, just another thing to love about the old scamp.

May as well go to fuckin Bangladesh

💯

Us dope fiends are all the same.

Then start writing

I hate dropping pills on the ground they end rolling under cabinets and shit.

Jeff Leg ain nobody talkin bout pills

@@jeffleg8660 then you have to get on all fours and scramble around for them. Nothing makes you feel like more of an addict...

I think it was in the docu-film 'Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson', where his first wife mentions the two times she saw him cry.

what i love about him is that his outward projection is that hes the craziest person in the room but if you feel the undertones of his character and rly understand what hes saying u realize hes the most sane

Lol big cats know they are big cats. It's why they roll about like happy little children; right before killing a few animals for dinner. "never underestimate" a big cat

@@ShawnJonesHellion jfc man it’s a metaphor

Didn't he direct or was involved in a snuff film? That would explain his weird Letterman interview.

Yeah that performance from Benicio was nuclear

Yeah, kinda made me think Thompson was a dick tbh

Kaleb Jester one drunken squeeze..jesus

Why is that

Thompson may have been involvedwith bohemian grove in that book franklin files, exposing hunter by one survivor of Republican politician Larry Kings deadly happenings in bohemian grove forest.

Woodpecker type anxiety

No.. he doesn't have a heart.

Flawed?

@@guessowii there's not a person on this planet who isn't flawed

@@LarryBirdsBurner Lmao I'm sure you're all pissy because someone pointed out an inherent fact

@@LarryBirdsBurner Not "if", it is, and it's not irrelevant when praising someone's entire character-claiming they're the embodiment of greatness-especially when so many people blindly praise X

Daisy Cruz I miss him so much

All the humans he ate and drank their blood

Not many good writers

anikka williams What?

@@RavenWolfDrum69what

Thank-you. Came here to say this. Major faux-pas!

I read the book. He got the opportunity to ride with Hells Angels, but something made them angry and they beat him up. He left after that, calling them depraved animals on mopeds.

""depraved animals on mopeds" - ah thanks for saving my day at the last minute with a laugh

drumstick74 What happened is he tried to stop one of the Hells angels from beating his old lady so they ganged up on him and beat him into the hospital.

robsteries nice...🖒✌

and he used to blow up propane tanks in hunters yard (when they lived together) their relationship started and ended with a bang.

Johnny Depp.. Freemason.

@@ergbudster3333 that hell movie was really weird

MissTaiSah Stratosphere...

@@FerrariTeddy they lived together?

Hi

Yeah I never knew about his abuse of that bird. Keeping a bird in a cage is bad enough (my grandmother kept budgerigars in cages when I was a kid) but THAT.... Crazy cunt. Truly unique, but still, bit of a cunt to behave like that. Can you not imagine what other shit he would do to small animals when no one is looking?

Dean Klein Oh,you mean the clown show going on for decades since Carter? I agree

He'd have a goddamn heart attack over it.

ikr, its crazy how racist and hypocritical the left is these days. their identity politics and white hate would really make for some great material from HST

Hunter Christensen: projection at best

thats no joke

true, most brilliant people are strange

cos thats genius

U dont know much about drugs do u

Literary freaks are fortunate to have this document of peak Hunter when his Gonzo-ism was at critical mass. This interview is of a different tone entirely but a nice companion piece: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZsRqLcD-1sE.html

i feel like theres a lot of sad parts in this that get over looked

Hear hear!!

He's stupid

I was reading this and heard it being said at the same moment... trippy....

@@Wil_Dsense for some reason I get that a lot when I read comments on videos its freaky

Inflation man, inflation.

@@SaltyFrank1990 75 cents with inflation

@@Adam-mi3hb 1$ from 1978 is 3.99$ today. You don't know how inflation works.

Yeah you get it

Judging by his reaction it seemed to be a particularly disturbing thought/question to him. Honestly one of the more interesting things about this documentary

It's hilarious that's when they ran out of film.

I know I love making rap have like ten full notebooks but this makes me wanna write a book

I noticed his comment about technology as well. I then thought about today's tech and how he realized cameras and mics needed to be micro in order to conceal them to catch authentic human nature. Once one sees everything as it is they can see everything as it will eventually be or as it should be.

Yep, Murray played Thompson, Depp played Raoul Duke

Zeke Payne very true

Well put

And this is why I don't like people shoving their phone cameras 24/7

Zachary Becker no one cares 😂

@@jackfahy2283 still don't get why people say that

Thank you for bringing that to the attention of Mr. Jaberwaukee. 🐨

And yet, you can type without errors and make yourself understood fairly clearly. Must be crappy large quantities of LSD...

Bro thanks for turning me over to the sick and wrong podcast

@@tinononit8623 My pleasure, my friend. I am still listening after all these years. It's been about 15 years, three co-hosts, over 800 episodes and they have never missed a week. I swear that show keeps me sane and grinning amidst all the madness and sadness that so often is life.

Man your perspective on HST sure changes when you realize he was down with Bohemian grove and making snuff films. He was protected by the cabal. Look up Paul Bonacci Franklin Cover-up

@@GatelliteSimp Don't believe everything you read.
