Always had a fascination for the works of the late twisted Gonzo genius Dr Hunter S Thompson and his arch-collaborator Ralph Steadman. Written about it at great length on NSC before.

But never expected to end up in Steadman’s new book ‘The Joke’s Over – Memories Of Hunter S Thompson’. Especially not for the kind of disgusting behaviour more normally associated with the good doctor himself.
And I quote, from Steadman’s letter to HST dated 11.5.82:
‘The Ritz article was awful and no good will come of it. I believe Bernard is going to send you a copy of it but I think you would be better not seeing it at all. Because of it, two seedy youths came visiting. While one of them was sick down our toilet the other asked me impertinent questions about how much I earned. Then I engineered a phone call telling me that I had to go out and drive them to the station where I presume they eventually got a train back to London.’
Ladeez & Gennelmen, THPP WAS that seedy youth being sick down the Steadman toilet
