Hunter S. Thompson’s last wish

Hunters last wish was that his remains would be shot out of a canon. On August 20, 2005, in a private ceremony, Thompson's ashes were fired from a cannon atop a 47 m high tower of his own design (in the shape of a double-thumbed fist clutching a peyote button) to the tune of Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky" and Bob Dylan's Mr. Tambourine Man. Red, white, blue, and green fireworks were launched along with his ashes. Now that's what i call a way to leave this life.

  2. Haket i Göteborg, men man får leta efter pubar som ölentusiaster och inte vanliga ställen. Tyvärr finns de ej på systemet

  3. Fanns på puben i folketshus (Galaxen) i Borlänge när jag var där hösten 2009.

  4. Johnny Depp betalade för Hunters sista kalas. Tror Mr. Cusack också bidrog.

  5. Depp himself var ju dessutom mannen som avfyrade kanonen om jag inte missminner mig.
