7. The Original Gonzo!

Used to get Rolling Stone to read his columns. Actually saw him talk once at Notre Dame of all places. Student government had invited him to discuss the current state of politics, shortly after Nixon resigned. I was going to a public college a few hours away but friends and I drove up to see him.
Just as wild in person as his writing, profound and profane.
He never lived in Montana. Lived in Woody Creek, Colorado. Pretty close to the playground of the rich and famous, Aspen.
