Hunter S. Thompson, Part 2: Everyday American Apocalypse

We talk about journalist, provocateur, political analyst, wildman & drug aficionado Hunter S. Thompson and discuss why he is the perfect avatar for The Long Seventies. Part two starts with Thompson’s most famous work Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas and hits the gas from there right past the ’72 election, Zaire disaster and goes over the edge at Reagan’s invasion of Grenada.
