For No Good Reason Page #3
"It's a fantastic scene,
thousands of people fainting,
"crying, copulating,
trampling each other
"and fighting with
broken whiskey bottles."
I think what he saw,
in our connection, was
somebody that somehow
he saw it in words, you know.
And that seemed to me to be part
that our chemistry there
made Gonzo possible.
"What I'm trying to find,"
he said, Hunter,
"is a certain kind
of Kentucky face,
"the face of
the Kentucky Derby."
And the point is that
by the end of the week,
the very face
we were looking for
was us looking back
at ourselves in the mirror.
I don't recognize
anyone anymore.
Yeah. Ah.
What I in fact had done,
without realizing it,
was scored
a bull's-eye first time...
Yeah.
...on my first
visit to America.
I mean, I met up
with the one man
I needed to meet
in all the world,
in the whole of America,
to work with.

I got very depressed when I got
back on the plane to England,

Got myself
some booze as well,

"and the sky was full of
what looked like huge bats,
"all swooping and screeching

about 100 miles an hour
"with the top down
to Las Vegas."
When Fear and
Loathing in Las Vegas came out,
I think people
were stunned by it.
I mean, nobody had really
seen anything like that.
It was
a full-out celebration of
the most outrageous

and then it was so...
Funny and dangerous

Looks like it's gonna be a classic
of 20th century literature.
So you're down on the
