H S Thompson's test of friendship

C 2006 funny interview with John Cusack about Hunter S Thompson's friendship tests - starting with stealing Don Henley's car:

Also found this on gonzo.org:
 (May, 1995) "The sun was slowly sinking behind the snow-capped mountains that surround Woody Creek, Colorado, when the explosion occurred. No one was injured except, of course, for the blow-up sex doll which was strapped to an idling John Deere tractor which was strapped to a propane bottle which had an exploding target taped to it. The propane bottle was punctured by a bullet aimed with masterful abandon by journalist, marksman, and cult-hero Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. The tractor went up like an H-bomb and could be heard in Aspen some half-dozen miles away. The left arm of the blow-up sex doll was found a few days later dangling from a branch of a pine tree by neighbor and ex-Eagle member Don Henley." http://www.gonzo.org/hst/ralph/ralph.asp?ID=4

Therese, would you please repost the video of Don telling THAT story?  :wave:
