Gonzo's real name was Oscar Zeta Acosta, he was a defense attorney in LA........and was prone to showing up to court with a head full of acid.......he once set a judges lawn on fire......and was the leader of the Chicanos latin uprising in america......no one's sure if he's dead or not but he said he wanted to die at 33.......because that's how old Jesus was when he died.....and whose footsteps better to follow than Jesus?
Raoul Duke's real name was Hunter S. Thompson (a brilliant, yet eccentric and insane man) he was a freelance sports reporter who wrote a lot of articles for playboy and rolling stone magazines........he once ran for sheriff in Aspen, Colorado......shaved his head.......said he was running against a "long-haired opponent" (who was a close cut republican man) and promised to change the name of the town to "Fat City" if he won.
look into it.....i've read most of Hunter S. Thompson's books and if you buy the new Special Edition "Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas" there's a documentary the BBC did in the 70's about Hunter S. Thompson and Ralph Steadman (the guy who does all the crazy drawings for Hunter's books, he also did the fear and loathing cover art for the movie) check it out man!!!
