Ashes-to-Fireworks Send-Off for an 'Outlaw' Writer

Thompson indulged in numerous hallucinogenic fantasies over the years, but this weekend, one of them morphed into reality: his ashes were blasted into the sky over his farm here, carried by red, blue and silver fireworks in front of a 153-foot monument that Mr. Thompson, the writer and avatar of 'gonzo' journalism, designed himself almost 30 years ago."
