Hunter's goodbye party

There is an interesting article by Jon Friedman, on MarketWatch, talking about Hunter S. Thompson extravagant memorial last weekend. He basically says that it was overly grandiose and over covered by the media. Here's a line:

"It's hard to equate the grotesque farewell to Thompson -- a media spectacle so grandiose, scripted and bloated that could match any political convention -- to the best of his writing in Rolling Stone."

It's a good read.
