Hunter S Thompson Commits Suicide
"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench. A long plastic hallway where pimps and thieves run free and good men die like dogs. There is also a negative side."
-Hunter S. Thompson
"Dr. Hunter S. Thompson took his life with a gunshot to the head at his fortified compound in Woody Creek, Colo.," Juan Thompson said in a statement.
The San Francisco Chronicle has a good article.

"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench. A long plastic hallway where pimps and thieves run free and good men die like dogs. There is also a negative side."
-Hunter S. Thompson
Apparently Mr T. never actually said this about the music industry, but about the TV industry:
According to Regret the Error.com 25th March
"Questions have been raised about the accuracy of a quotation attributed to Hunter S. Thompson that ran with his obituary Monday and in an editorial Tuesday: "The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." The quote, which has appeared often in print and electronic media in recent years, differs from a version in Thompson's "Generation of Swine" that reads: "The TV business is uglier than most things. It is normally perceived as some kind of cruel and shallow money trench through the heart of the journalism industry, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs, for no good reason." There is no second sentence about "a negative side." Some observers believe that in its frequent retelling, "the TV business" became "the music business" and the second sentence was added by persons unknown."
