Marty Flynn has, as usual, outdone himself with a story about Hunter Thompson’s Playboy writings and interviews. Click here to go there. However, I wanted to add a different facet: his rejections. You can read about some of them in Keep This Quiet! and Keep THIS Quiet Too! For instance, the hilarious experience with the Alpine skier turned advertiser Jean-Claude Killy and the observations Hunter drew in the rejected Killy article. But his Playboy rejections started as early on as Hell’s Angels. Check back here in a few days. I will add some quotes on this from his letters to me as he struggles with Playboy‘s restrictions. You can also check them out in my memoirs.
