    I agree. Your description of RS today is on the money but in the past, maybe the distant past, they did have some good writers, Hunter S. Thompson for one.

    And look what happened to him! If it wasn't for Terry Gilliam casting Johnny Depp in a movie about him, he would be just another self-destructive boomer relic.

    Yeah, he was the poster boy for self-destructive boomers. All the coke and booze made his voice unintelligible. But he wrote Fear & Loathing that Gilliam based his movie on. And the movie was brillo.

    Are you talking about Hunter S. Thompson or Johnny Depp?

    I'm talking about the writing of HST since our subject was the quality of writing in RS.
