I guess Rolling Stone has or will have a feature of this in their next issue. It’s a note Hunter S. Thompson left for his wife before committing suicide. It’s titled “Football Season Is Over”
“No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun — for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax — This won’t hurt.”
And then of course, there are all those conspiracy theories surrounding his death, but I won’t get into that…

I loved his work, but because he was a journalist, He was privvy to info that us “normal” folk couldn’t handle.
Soon after he died, I had a dream where I saw Hunter S. Thompson where I asked him what it’s like to be a dead man. I forget what he said, but soon after I met him the archons chased me out of the Dead Man’s Zone, or whatever you want to call it. Thompson was on this highway in some vehicle, I can’t possibly describe, drinking something and smoking, and there was someone else in the vehicle with him. I was somehow keeping up with them alongside the vehicle even though I didn’t have one, I may have been on top of a train or a truck or something. He seemed to be having a good time.
The conspiracy theories are incorrect. I spoke with Anita, his wife, the day he died. She called to hear some words of spiritual advice from my former employer (Deepak Chopra). Our conversation was interesting and yes, Hunter took his own life. But I’m really disappointed that my boss couldn’t even find a minute or two to speak with her! That’s what happens when one becomes a “spiritual leader” I suppose…
Well, to be fair to the conspiracy theories (which sounds ridiculous, of course), I’ve not seen any that suggest he didn’t kill himself. They dealt more with what lead him to do it, namely the rumored possibility that he was involved in a pedophile ring. I don’t know that I believe it, but these are the rumors. Rigorous Intuition has many posts which deal with this.
Oh, I was not aware of this theory. I had heard more politically-based conspiracy theories surrounding his death. And to be fair to Deepak, his reaction to her call was “If I had to speak with everyone about their problems, I’d be on the telephone all day!” Upon further reflection, I think he didn’t really know who Hunter S. Thompson was…
