Gidget meets Gonzo
in the great beyond.
She pulls on the bourbon
while he ponders the surf.
He reloads and she drops to the blanket
on her belly.
That wave he once spotted breaking out West
is the wave she once rode all the way home.
The countries they lived in
looked the same from some angles.
The countries they lived in
get confused all the time.
Gonzo meets Gidget and the sun goes down.
They’ll be starting a fire after dark.
They will keep warm together under the glorious
American sky, stars, satellites, planets, planes.
He’ll pull on the bourbon. She’ll pull on a sweatshirt.
He’ll tell stories she won’t want to understand, and she will do the same.

Re: superfan!
I bow to him. Deeply.
Cryptonomicon was the only book of his I hadn’t read yet, being put off by the math. Yes, indeed, the math did make my eyes glaze over a few times, but fuck, he is such a good writer. The story (storIES) is brilliant.
I take it you’ve read the Baroque Cycle?

Sandra Dee was (at least in her screen life) the image of idealism and Hunter S. a king among cynics. Nice juxtaposition.

Don’t know if it’s an age dempgraphoc issue. Like ocvitor, I’m in my thirties and have been a fan since my teen years. We bought the Shark Hunt book recently, but I haven’t really delved into it (too busy with Cryptonomicon). Guess it’s past time now.

Possibly. I don’t know. I’m 33, and have been a fan for seventeen-odd years. I now a lot of folks older than me–and a Hell of a lot who came through the punk scene–who adored him. A few of the reporters at work today, and I only saw a couple, were a little weirded by the whole thing. News editors put it on page one this morning, which raised an eyebrow for me–we’re a little tetchy about “celebrity” deaths on page one. They’re a conversation every single time, unless it’s someone above and beyond huge, like Ray Charles. “Fear and Loathing,” the movie, I’m sure made a difference in how many people who wouldn’t be aware of him otherwise discovered his work, and I’m more than convinced that there are teenagers out there right now who got the news garbled and think Johnny Deppe blkew his brains out yesterday.
