Hunter S. Thompson's remains were launched today from a 15-story tower. The cannon was shaped after Thompson's logo: a dagger, topped by a two-thumbed, clenched fist on the upraised hilt. Live music from Lyle Lovett & the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, funded largely by Johnny Depp. (Note to Underdog: This is what I want, too.)
NYT has a cool pic [reg. req'd, yadda yadda yadda], plus a good bio, book reviews, historical photos, etc.
Res Ipsa Loquitor.
