獵奇的創作人生兩難！杭特·S·湯普森道出瘋狂藝術家的宿命？ (The Terrible Paradox of Being a Creative Person - Hunter S. Thompson)
- This sort of violent, abusive, and misogynistic behavior was not a rare case in the world of late 1960s America. To get a better sense of the world Thompson was living in, in a TV interview he and a Hells Angels member did with CBC, the audience laughed as the Hells Angels member made jokes about the other member beating his wife and dog, while Thompson was essentially made a mockery of for caring and stepping in. Though, at this time, racism, sexism, violence, hatred, and corruption were the norm, they were rubbing up against an expanding moral consciousness carried out by countercultural movements like the 60s hippie movement. There were growing efforts, hopes, and promises of greater peace, acceptance, and societal function.
在 20 世紀 60 年代末的美國，這種暴力、虐待和厭惡女性的行為並不罕見。為了更好地瞭解湯普森所處的世界，在他和一名地獄天使成員接受加拿大廣播公司（CBC）的一次電視採訪中，當地獄天使成員開玩笑說另一名成員毆打他的妻子和狗時，觀眾們鬨堂大笑，而湯普森卻因為關心和介入而受到嘲弄。儘管此時種族主義、性別歧視、暴力、仇恨和腐敗已成為常態，但它們卻與 60 年代嬉皮士運動等反文化運動所倡導的不斷擴大的道德意識相沖突。人們對更大的和平、接納和社會功能做出了越來越多的努力、希望和承諾。
- Witnessing political corruption, police brutality, needless war, and the failure of countercultural movements to meaningfully enact social change, Thompson felt the conditions of things were, in his words, Christ it's bad. Underneath the prosperity of Americanism was an underbelly of violence, greed, corruption, excess, and an emptiness that was bloating.
湯普森目睹了政治腐敗、警察暴行、無謂的戰爭，以及反文化運動未能有意義地實現社會變革，他覺得，用他的話說，"基督已經壞了"。在美國式繁榮的背後，是暴力、貪婪、腐敗、過度和膨脹的空虛。
