INSTRUCTIONS FOR READING GONZO JOURNALISM

Mon, 09 Apr 2012 09:07:30 -0400

- Half-pint, 10-inch hypo-needle

- Fill this full of rum, tequila or Wild Turkey and shoot the entire contents straight into the stomach, through the navel. This will induce a fantastic rush- much like a Â¾ hour amyl high- plenty of time to read the whole saga

- The mind and body must be subjected to extreme stimulus, by means of drugs and music”

“…the selection on my desk ranges from Painfully Straight to Intolerably Weird.”

“The real horror to me, lies in the fact that there is absolutely no vehicle in American journalism for the kind of ‘sensitive’ and ‘intellectual’ and essentially moral/merciless reporting that we all understand is necessary- not only for the survival of good journalism in this country, but also for the dying idea that you can walk up to a newsstand and find something that will tell you what’s really happening…”

“…I’ve had a lot of trouble with the notion of mixing up a fictional narrative with a series of straight journalistic scenes…The fiction part strikes me as bullshit and the journalism seems dated and useless…”

“I have never had much respect or affection for journalism, but for the past 10 years it has been both a dependable meal-ticket and a valid passport to the cockpit(s) of whatever action, crisis, movement or instant history I wanted to be a part of.”

“…If I seem a bit cynical at this point, or a trifle uncertain about The Meaning of It All, it is probably because of my secret conviction that a whole generation of journalists and journalism went over the hump with the Nixon/Watergate story, and that the odds against any of us ever hitting that kind of peak again are impossibly long…”

“There are numerous lame and sterile ways to counter surface plagiarism, but the only sure and final cure is to write something so clearly and brutally original that only a fool would risk plagiarizing it.”
