Better More of a Tribute to Hunter S. Thompson Than Someone Living
RECEIVED Fri., Feb. 25, 2005
Dear Mr. Black,
I cannot believe that The Austin Chronicle gave such short shrift to the passing of Hunter S. Thompson [“Page Two,” Feb. 25]. You indicated that any tribute (obituary) to him would be "obvious." Well, then state the obvious and allow something to be published. Spare us your meandering "tribute" (she's still alive) to Nanci Griffith [“There's a Light Beyond These Woods,” Music, Feb. 25]. Nanci is a wonderful songwriter, but even I can read her lyrics on the CD. Obviously.
