An interview with Juan F. Thompson

By Matt Miller

PUBLISHED: JAN 15, 2016 

During one of Hunter S. Thompson's most infamous parties—for which he and Ken Kesey invited a group of Hells Angels to the middle of the woods to drink and take acid—a baby quietly slept in the corner of one of the cabins. Years later this same boy clutched his father's back while terrified and speeding through the Colorado mountains on a motorcycle. The kid was the brunt of his father's verbose insults ("waterhead bastard" was a favorite). He witnessed a messy, abusive divorce, and somehow, even though he was the son of a booze-guzzling, gun-obsessed, LSD-loving genius, Juan F. Thompson grew up to be a stable adult.

President Donald Trump announced a five-day postponement of threatened strikes on Iranian power plants after his administration reported “productive” talks with Tehran — a move markets greeted as a brief relief from weeks of war-driven turmoil. The S&P 500, Dow and Nasdaq rallied more than 2% on the news, and Brent crude fell from intraday spikes above $113 to roughly $100 a barrel, as investors interpreted the pause as an attempt to steady global energy and financial markets.
