But I'm into literature and reading different things.

I'm recently reading Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail, 1972, which is, you know, one of my favorite journalists, Hunter S. Thompson.

He took his own life in 2005 before having an extravagant funeral paid for by his friend Johnny Depp.

It reportedly cost up to $5 million and included Thompson's ashes being shot out of a cannon.

And, folks, you can find that poem amongst Jeffers' work.

It, interestingly, also is incorporated in Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail 72, which I think is one of the best political books ever written.

Really? And I tell you that there's another poem in there, too, called Stranger in My Own Land.
VyzygothHOST
I mean, Thompson joked around a lot, but he was incisive and sharp.
