One Last American Dream

Hunter S. Thompson's wishes to have his ashes shot from a cannon were fulfilled last night. It was apparently quite a scene, with Johnny Depp "hosting" the event (and footing the bill, which was evidently in excess of $2 million), attendees the likes of Sean Penn, Bill Murray and George McGovern, and Lyle Lovett and the Nitty-Gritty Dirt Band set to perform.

The man always did like a good party. So long, Doc.
