Derby Reportage.

Coming out of that piece, definitely scrambled upstairs, my first thoughts were "Sweet baby Jesus that was long!!"  And that, my friends, is the honest-to-God truth right there.
I spent much of the time reading that story thinking to myself, Why did Hunter S. Thompson choose to write this story as long and elaborate as he did? I mean, he actually speaks of the Derby for about three sentences, then back to himself and his story.  I understand that he was starting a new style of writing, but why did it have to be so... vulgar and... self-centered?

CA out.
