Hemmingway applied a journalistic style to literature, and Thompson applied a literary style to journalism.

Every time I hear Hunter talk, I'm struck by how well Bill Murray and Johnny Depp portrayed him, his speech and his mannerisms. It certainly helps that they were both friends of his and spent a lot of time with him.

Hunter idolised Hemingway, for his writing somewhat but far more his lifestyle and the life he led. The similarities with Hemingway, that Hunter orchestrated in his life, from his gang of adoring friends around him drooling at every morsel happily shared from their respective courts and ultimately identical deaths can not be over stated. From the beginning of Hunters career in Puerto Rico mirroring Hemingways' life in Cuba in the "Finca"(by Hunter's time Cuba was no longer accessible) throughout his excessive life and even down to his sun visor ("borrowed" directly from Hemingway) HST consistently steered himself down paths that Ernest Hemingway had forged. Everyone that marvels at Hunter's character and talent, and persist, are ultimately led inexorably back to Hemingway. Reading "The Rum Diary", although only published in 1998, yet written in Puerto Rico in the 60's at the outset of Hunter's Hemingway trail and career, you can clearly see that the ambition was to "write my Hemingway". Soon after came Gonzo and the literary paths diverged, but Hemingways' swagger was something that Hunter reflected throughout his life. Ultimately what left readers feeling was omitted from both authors work was opposing and showed them to have completely different styles. From the ragingly camera-shy Hemingway who steered toward fiction we were rarely fed the biographical insight to which his legend led us, to the times when Hunter stepped off his own page and wonderful descriptive prose of high watermarks and night bike riding full bore with the lights off, bled forth. Don't take my word for it, between the the two of them, there are about a hundred works out there and you are blessed if you have not read them all yet.

Hemingway wrote the shortest story ever composed.... it was comprised of only 6 words and it goes like this:

"For Sale, Baby Shoes, Never Worn."

The "Closed Captions" (CC) came in handy here..😄

I like to read the comments that are written about authors. Much more interesting and less mean-spirited than many videos.

Hunter S. Thompson talks like his voice is playing a game of red light, green light. He speaks slowly until he finds out exactly what he's trying to say, and then once he knows, it all just spills out of his mouth at once. Then he pauses and starts figuring out what to say next and the process repeats.

This gets to why I can only take Hunter's work in small doses. Instead of getting to the interior of what made Hemingway work, he frittered around externalities.

His answer to the question "what writer has taught you the most" is "Hemingway taught me you can be a writer".

Did you notice how when Charlie asked him about Hemingway's prose he very assertively steered him off that course? Translation: I haven't read other writers.
