Stories I Tell Myself Growing Up with Hunter S. Thompson

he wrote a book called um stories I tell myself about his relationship with his father

and Juan writes beautifully about the stakes of it how painful it was to the people that loved him of course everything about it um and how that even if that's a logical outcome that that's not no it's so it's interesting I would say read stories I tell myself with that moment is so honestly and really written by Juan

He's got a one man show. He's like a standup.

his son wrote a great book called stories I tell myself one Thompson and so I tried to end with Nixon leaving but those years after are really tough because it's the way we understand alcoholism now coupled with how Thompson would take Dexter Drain and there was a price to be paid later and his son writes about getting hooked on the stuff I mean he was drinking a 750 a 750 milliliter bottle of Jack Daniels every day starting when he woke up and it just dissolved him from the inside out in his mind too yeah you know and so you're right like that's he's seen in this kind of extreme way and he would present himself that way but eventually it became he became the caricature he would promote you know and that happened later and it wasn't through tons of acid or drug which are you know whatever but it was it was just through alcoholism you know and it was eventually you know speed and cocaine and all these different things but he was just dissolving his body with that and I I think that that gets lost
