There has always been a bit of a secret hope of mine that HST's involvement was simply a former of gonzo journalism. Infiltration in order to better understand and summarize...but I know it is probably not true. His style of writing was captivating and, being a writer of some limited talent, I've always tried to employ that same colorful turn of phrase and cadence that he used in his work.
Depends on your perspective. When I was unrepentant (young and dumb) he WAS a breath of fresh air. Now, he's a fraud, and a self indulgent, pompous blowhard. The elites KNEW it (we didn't), he committed suicide. MY perspective on him at least. FLASH (even subtle sophisticated) isn't substantive. It's manipulative in MY experience. He wasn't writing from insight, but from rebellion.
