In the late 80s, the Mitchell brothers, owners of the O’Farrell Theatre in San Francisco, produced a 30 minute long documentary on Hunter S. Thompson’s college campus tour. Entitled “The Crazy Never Die”, the documentary covers Thompson’s visits in Oregon and Kansas, including some interesting insight into his childhood, the amount of speakers he has in his living room and much more.

Hunter S. Thompson was a man before his time, or, from another time, or maybe just a bit insane, in that gifted sort of way. This documentary, filmed by BBC in 1978, followed around Thompson, featuring several interviews on his image, his books and his wacky experiences traveling the country leaving large amounts of unanswered questions and destruction in his wake.

All I should have to say about this is, photos by and of Hunter S. Thompson, on the road, with The Hell’s Angels, heading to Tijuana, Mexico. (!!!!) Pre-order here I come. Thompson had quite the talent, both behind the typewriter and the camera, which is apparent in the upcoming book of photographs, Gonzo, featuring pages of family portraits, candid snapshots and press photos taken by Thompson throughout his years traveling the land and destroying American culture at every stop. Though his death was untimely, it’s good to know that works by Thompson are still being produced by his estate, benefiting fans and future generations alike.
