It’s a war.” Thompson’s war may be more against himself than the DA. A Janu ary article in Time magazine written by Boston correspondent Sam Allis only adds to the negative image many have begun to associate with him. In the article, Allis tells of a drunken Thompson burning a Christmas tree inside his fireplace, smashing a cam era and shooting at passing cars. “That’s the damn thing that kicked it off,” Thompson says. “It enraged people all over the country.” “All 1 did was burn a Christmas tree. That was a wild night. I was filming it. I’m telling you, it’s spec tacular. (Allis’) assignment was to make sure the tree stayed in the back of the fireplace. He had a fire tool. And he fled rather than do his job. I cursed him severely for not slaying with it. Nothing caught on fire. Noth ing burned up. Not even a Kleenex. The fool. He was a wimp, really. I just got bored with him. “I shouldn’t have let him in the house. 1 shouldn ’ t ha vc let the woman (Palmer-Slater) in the house. I’m going to have to keep the gates locked and not let people in the house. Be para noid, I guess.” Thompson s personal antics always have been a target of media coverage when reporters cou Id get close to h im. But he says the recent legal problems will have no effect on his lifestyle. “Frankly, I don’t see that my life style is dangerous to anybody else. I don’t see why I should change the lifestyle that all this time has led to one DUI. I’ve been busted once for weed, a misdemeanor thing. This bitching about shooting -- this place is a chartered NRA gun club. No injuries, damages, harm to anybody - what the hell. “There’s a big difference between a criminal and an outlaw . . . and that’s what the DA and his voters have lost sight of.” Thompson begins pulling memo ries from his battle-scarred brain. “I’ve naturally calmed down in my . . . Jesus Christ. . . Yeah. You should have seen me awhile ago. I don’t have that many friends to have fun with, with drugs or wildness anymore. “Most of them are dead,” he giggles. “I have to keep it in line with my writing. If you don’t get paid for being crazy, then you’re dumb. All my life I’ve been paid for it, and I intend to continue to gel paid for it. If I had to find a job, I certainly couldn’t live the way I do. This is the hardest work there is, I think.” Thompson says life as a symbol is a lonely one at times. He tells of a few comrades -- Neil Young, William Burroughs. we rc ail in it together in a way, he philosophizes. But for now, he will seclude him self at home, working out a battle plan. Lawyers. Counter charges. Books. “It always helps me to get angry. I’m a counter puncher. I don’t really go out there looking for people. But when they come after me, I enjoy that. “1 am a warrior.” Thompson has a tough time stay ing serious for very long. He scans newspaper headlines while he talks. 4 They’re having a vote in the paper tomorrow on what to do with me,” he offers finally. ‘“What should we do with Hunter?’ The real question is ‘What’s the town to do about police state tactics?’” Some suggest it is time for Hunter S. Thompson to leave the Aspen area. “They’re not sending me any where,” he promises. “We’ll see .. .” JUST BECAUSE IT S LEGAL DOESN'T MEAN IT S SAFE.
