I am too drunk and stoned and generally awash even to remember how to
spell Hunter Thompson, but before demons began to line dance in their
new clear cowboy hats, in the era when Tom Wolfe's white suits were
still bleached beneath the armpits, I think I wrote something for
Phil/Lit about a brewery in Salt Lake City that makes "Dead Horse Ale,"
marketed under the slogan, "you can't beat a dead horse." Memory is
not what it was.
