By "Gonzo" do you mean the Good Doctor, or Gonzo the Great?

no I mean Hunter S Thompson

Then I'll say the Good Doctor.

1/11/2010 9:57:35 PM

I vote Selby

I think this removes any argument against who was the most fuck up individual.

Selby was just more my style, I don't condone anyone killing them self (Hunter S Thompson)

Selby fought to stay alive as long as he could with TB, even if that included abusing pain meds he still fought to stay alive and his works are amazing.

Last Exit To Brooklyn

Requiem For A Dream

The Demon

The Room

The Willow Tree

Song of The Silent Snow

etc

I give the man more credit for going out in control of his life instead of holding on to a lost cause like Selby did. If I had planned as elaborate of a funeral as Thompson did, I'd want to make sure my friends and admirers outlived me so that they could witness it.

You obviously don't know enough about Selby to say that or you wouldn't be saying it.
