<title>Marc Weingarten&#8217;s Review Pushed Hunter Thompson Widow To Tears</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="51+I+xR8ICL._AA240_.jpg" src="/fishbowlla/files/original/51+I+xR8ICL._AA240_.jpg" width="240" height="240" class="alignleft" hspace="7" /></p>
<p><strong>Hunter Thompson&#8217;s</strong> widow, <strong>Anita Thompson</strong>, is boo-hooing over <strong>Marc Weingarten&#8217;s</strong> <a href="http://www.calendarlive.com/books/la-et-book2nov02,0,5626568.story?coll=cl-books-features">LAT review</a> of a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Gonzo-Life-Hunter-S-Thompson/dp/0316005274">new biography</a> of the gonzo king, <em>Gonzo: The Life of Hunter S. Thompson.</em></p>
<p>According to <strong>Stacey McCain</strong> in the <a href="http://video1.washingtontimes.com/culture/2007/11/fear_and_loathing_v20.html">Washington Times</a>, <strong>Jann Wenner</strong> and <strong>Corey Seymour</strong> discredit everything Thompson wrote after leaving <em>Rolling Stone</em>. Considering the source, well, duh. What does she expect from Wenner? She sounds <a href="http://www.owlfarmblog.com/blog/2007/11/defending_hunter.html">annoying as hell</a>. So many rock widows do.</p>
<p>Weingarten wrote:</p>
<blockquote><p>Rolling Stone founder Jann S. Wenner and writer Corey Seymour&#8211; who held Thompson&#8217;s hand as a Rolling Stone assistant editor in the &#8217;90s&#8211;trace the slow spiral into infirmity and depression ending in Thompson&#8217;s suicide on Feb. 20, 2005.What &#8220;Gonzo&#8221; makes abundantly clear is that he circled the drain for a long time.</p></blockquote>
<p>Mrs. Thompson wrote Wenner a tell-off letter last May, but assures fans that <strong>Johnny Depp</strong>, who wrote the forward, is a-okay:</p>
<blockquote><p>for those of you worried about Johnny Depp, although I haven&#8217;t spoken to him in a long time,  I can assure you that he probably did not have a chance to read the manuscript before agreeing to let Jann republish his rolling stone article as the &#8220;forward.&#8221;
