An fantastic journalist circa 1960's. His writings often include topics from Nixon to Hells Angels. Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas is his best known work. Mainly for the fact that it surfaced when Johnny Depp had emerged from being the guy from 21 Jump Street
The best damn author ever has to be Hunter S. Thompson

A condition characterized by the adoption, and subsequent involuntary internalization of, the mannerisms and habits of the late Hunter S. Thompson.
Johnny Depp's case of Hunter S. Thompson Syndrome (HSTS) during the filming of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was so accurate and deeply entrenched that it actually creeped out Thompson himself.
