How Our Heroes Fall

Rolling Stone published Hunter S. Thompson's suicide note. The missive pretty much falls in line with Kurt Cobain and Arthur Rimbaud's final writings in that it fails to do justice to the liveliness and rebellious fury that made its author famous. It's no secret that Thompson's mental and physical health was rapidly deteriorating at the time of his death. The Planner posts this much with a heavy heart, so if the reader desires more editorializing and even some snide (perhaps inappropriate) commentary on the note and the suicide, he or she is welcome to go here.
