Hunter S. Thompson

From Hell's Angels rallies to East L.A. motel rooms to broken-down North Vegas diners to San Francisco porno theaters, Thompson has spent the past 40 years in places most people would categorize as hell. In doing so, he has provided us with a brutally honest memoir of American life in the second half of the 20th century, a memoir filled with low-lifes, drunks, addicts and demented lawyers ... all of whom are real and all of whom - like Thompson - still believe in the "fantastic possibilities of life in this country."

"Hunter S. Thompson is our hillbilly Boswell, at once both optimistic and pessimistic - and he is truly one of a kind."

ABOUT EBC

It wasn't long after 9/11, September 11, 2001, that I began this website. I felt compelled to connect with other people around the globe. I had recently heard about "weblogs" or "blogs" and I dove right into Blogger.com. I searched for others to connect with online and I found Ageless. It led to meeting many great friends to discuss events of the day. From then on it snowballed. Most importantly we offered one another support and friendship across the globe; finding that we were just a few keystrokes away.
