  • What Is Gonzo? Hirst, UQ Eprint Edition 2004-01-19 Page: 1
    What is gonzo? Hirst, UQ Eprint edition 2004-01-19 Page: 1 What is Gonzo? The etymology of an urban legend [word count: 6302] Dr Martin Hirst, School of Journalism & Communication, University of Queensland [email protected] Abstract: The delightfully enigmatic and poetic ‘gonzo’ has come a long way from its humble origins as a throw-away line in the introduction to an off-beat story about the classic American road trip of discovery. Fear and loathing in Las Vegas is definitely a classic of post-war literature and this small word has taken on a life of its own. A Google search on the Internet located over 597000 references to gonzo. Some had obvious links to Hunter S. Thompson’s particular brand of journalism, some were clearly derivative and others appear to bear no immediate connection. What, for example, is gonzo theology? Despite the widespread common usage of gonzo, there is no clear and definitive explanation of its linguistic origins. Dictionaries differ, though they do tend to favour Spanish or Italian roots without much evidence or explanation. On the other hand, biographical sources dealing with Thompson and new journalism also offer different and contradictory etymologies. This paper assesses the evidence for the various theories offered in the literature and comes close to forming a conclusion of its own. The paper then reviews the international spread of gonzo in a variety of areas of journalism, business, marketing and general weirdness by reviewing over 200 sites on the Internet and many other sources. Each of these manifestations is assessed against several gonzo criteria.

  • Mahindra's Roxor Off-Roader Joins Forces With
    MAHINDRA’S ROXOR OFF-ROADER JOINS FORCES WITH RENOWNED HUNTER TED NUGENT • Nugent’s hard-driving brand of rock and roll and his Michigan roots line up well with ROXOR. Auburn Hills, MI – Mar 11, 2019 – The ROXOR brand of off-road products, recently launched by Mahindra Automotive North America (MANA), has entered into a licensing agreement with Ted Nugent, Detroit’s own music legend and lifelong outdoorsman. The new Ted Nugent ROXOR is designed for the hardcore outdoorsman. Its boxed- steel frame, turbo-diesel engine and truck-style transmission create a new sub-segment in the side-by-side market. The special edition vehicle adds a unique custom graphics package including Ted Nugent Edition exterior and instrument panel graphics, a certificate of authenticity hand-signed by Nugent, heavy-duty bumper with a Warn winch, D-ring mounts, hard top, windshield and heavy-duty Kolpin Rhino grips to keep your equipment secure. There is also an available sound bar with guitar plug. “This all came about when Ted learned about ROXOR and drove the product at his local powersports dealer while getting his old SxS repaired. Ted wanted to get involved with the product right away. He got two ROXORs for his properties in Michigan and Texas, put them to work as only he can, and this partnership was born,” stated Rich Ansell, Vice President of Marketing for Mahindra Automotive North America. “His love for hunting and the outdoors fits perfectly with what this product is about. He’s a no excuses guy and ROXOR is a no excuses vehicle,” Ansell added.

  • Ted Nugent and His Conservative Media Enablers
    Ted Nugent and His Conservative Media Enablers Ted Nugent, the gun-toting rocker with a big mouth, has done it again. His latest rant, not surprisingly, is about his favorite target, Barack Obama. This is what he recently told guns.com: Barack Obama is a “Chicago communist-raised, communist- educated, communist-nurtured subhuman mongrel” and a “gangster.” Even if you ignore the communist and gangster rhetoric, Nugent called the president of this country a “subhuman mongrel” – the same language, by the way, that Hitler used on the Jews and that slaveholders used to describe their slaves. So it’s no surprise that liberals in the media jumped on the remark, noting that Nugent has been out campaigning for likely Republican nominee for governor of Texas, state Attorney General Greg Abbott. On CNN, Wolf Blitzer said, “Nugent’s presence hit a sour note with a lot of people. They say Texans deserve better than a candidate who would align himself with someone like Nugent who offered a hate-filled assessment of the president. Shockingly, Abbott’s campaign brushed aside the criticism, saying they value Nugent’s commitment to the Second Amendment.” This prompted Newt Gingrich, who’s also on CNN, to complain about the media double standard. “I always love selective media outrage. As the party of Hollywood, the Democrats have lots of donors and supporters who say truly stupid things. Truly outrageous things.” Newt is right. There is a double standard. But he left out the most important part: Conservatives in the media are just as guilty. Here’s how it works: If a conservative like Sarah Palin, is slimed by a liberal like Bill Maher conservatives are outraged and liberals couldn’t care less.
