Clubhouse on Wheels: CELEBRATING TRAVELS WITH CHARLEY

IN MEMORY, HUNTER S. THOMPSON (GONE 16 YEARS AGO TODAY)

 

Speaking at American University, Washington DC, late 1975

That's me, front row, far right

About 40 years later, me again, occupying HST's favorite spot inside Woody Creek Tavern.

Although Woody Creek was HST's favorite hang, his spirit lingers at the old bar in Aspen's Hotel Jerome where in 1970 he ran his campaign for sheriff.

"Buy the ticket, take the ride."

FORESIGHT

 

I am cognizant of the fact that there are powerful forces in this country that would dominate us, substituting a kind of regimentation for the competitive system that has made America great among nations.

They would attempt to destroy individual thinking and initiative, cherished ever since our Pilgrim Fathers established the country in defiance of Old World tyranny.

I believe that we must continue to retain the wealth of spirit of our forefathers, for if we don't we shall find ourselves dominated in everything we do by a mighty few and shall become serfs in fact if not in name.

In 1951, C.M. Kornbluth wrote a futuristic novella called The Marching Morons.

In 2006, Mike Judge turned Kornbluth’s novella into a movie called Idiocracy.

Neither Kornbluth nor Judge might have imagined woke and the flumdummery of so-called "progressives."

San Fran warned over renaming schools honoring so-called racist figures

Long live monuments and schools that honor the memory of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
