Gonzo

Hunter S. Thompson's ashes will be blasted from a cannon mounted inside a 16 metre high sculpture of the journalist's "gonzo fist" emblem.

The cannon shot,planned for August on the grounds of the Aspen area home, will fulfill the writer's long cherished wish.
It's expensive,but worth every penny,Anita Thompson said. I'd like to have several explosions. He loved explosions.
Thompson, after a long and flamboyant career that produced such journalism classics as "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"and cast his image as a hard charging, drug-crazed daredevil.
The "gonzo fist" will be mounted on a 30 metre high pillar,making the monument more than 45 metres high. It will resemble Thompson's personal symbol,a fist on an upthrust forearm,sometimes with "Gonzo" emblazened acroaa it.
The monument will be a permanent fixture on the writer's 40 hectare property.
This should be a real blast.
