An elegant end to an elegant life
While it won't have quite the pomp and circumstance as the Pope John-Paul II funeral, the burial of Hunter S. Thompson will have its charm. It seems that:
"Hunter S. Thompson's ashes will be blasted from a cannon mounted inside a 53-foot-high sculpture of the journalist's "gonzo fist" emblem, his wife said Tuesday."Though perhaps not as understated as his writings and his temperance, such an end will no doubt provide a contemplative calm with which to reflect on his life.
