Dr. Hunter S. Thompson killed himself two years ago today. We miss him a lot, especially as the presidential race is starting to warm up. While it's depressing to think we'll never be able to read his thoughts on Barack vs. Hillary, there's still a lot of stuff coming up to keep a fan busy.
His widow, Anita, maintains a blog from Owl Farm and is preparing a collection of interviews and memories in a book called The Gonzo Way. Editor Douglas Brinkley is finishing up the third volume of Thompson's letters, and illustrator Ralph Steadman recently released The Joke's Over: Bruised Memories: Gonzo, Hunter S. Thompson and Me.
And if that's not enough Gonzo for you, check out a 1978 BBC documentary, Fear and Loathing in Gonzovision, after the jump...

Great, great footage in that BBC doc. I've only seen the first ten minutes but will be raising a glass of Chivas and watching the rest tonight.
Cazart!
