buttons with quotes based on
the Hunter S. Thompson novel "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas."
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
follows its protagonist, Raoul Duke, and his attorney, Dr. Gonzo, as they descend on Las Vegas to chase the American Dream through a drug-induced haze, all the while ruminating on the failure of the 1960s countercultural movement. Its popularization of Thompson's highly subjective blend of fact and fiction has become known as gonzo journalism.
An audiobook version was released by Margaritaville Records and Island Records in 1996, on the 25th anniversary of the book's original publication. It features the voice talents of Harry Dean Stanton as the narrator/an older Hunter S. Thompson, Jim Jarmusch as Raoul Duke, and Maury Chaykin as Dr. Gonzo, with Jimmy Buffett, Joan Cusack, Buck Henry and Harry Shearer in minor roles. In 1998,
there was a film adaptation directed
by
Terry Gilliam, starring Johnny Depp and Benicio del Toro who portrayed Raoul Duke and Dr. Gonzo, respectively.
Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die! is the fourth studio album by American rock band Panic! at the Disco.
