Hunter S. Thompson
Nixon’s Spirit
[Intro: Anita Baymont]
This is a message for Paul Oakenfold, uh, how are you?
It's Anita Baymont, Hunter Thompson's assistant
I'm going through the messages, just getting back to you to let you know that Hunter did get the CD's
I've listened to them and I'm excited and Hunter has listened to them and, he's interested
So, we'll give you a call back in a couple of days
Yeah, so, um, great stuff
We'll talk soon. Thanks, bye
[Hunter S. Thompson]
Let me just read this
Nixon's spirit will be with us for the rest of our lives
Whether you're me or Bill Clinton or you or Kurt Cobain or Bishop Tutu or Keith Richards or Amy Fisher or Boris Yeltsin's daughter or her fiance's 16-year-old beer-drunk brother with his braided goatee and his whole life like a thundercloud right in front of him
This is not a generational thing
You don't even have to know who Richard Nixon was to be a victim of his ugly Nazi spirit
He has poisoned our water forever
Nixon will be remembered as a classic case of a smart man shitting in his own nest
But he also shit in our nests
And that was the crime that history will burn on his memory like a brand
By disgracing and degrading the presidency of the United States
By fleeing the White House like a diseased cur
Richard Nixon broke the heart of the American Dream
