Review: Hey Rube: Blood Sport, the Bush Doctrine, and the Downward Spiral of Dumbness

Hey Rube: Blood Sport, the Bush Doctrine, and the Downward Spiral of Dumbness Hey Rube: Blood Sport, the Bush Doctrine, and the Downward Spiral of Dumbness by Hunter S. Thompson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Narrated w/gusto by Scott Sowers, this is a great, gonzo tour of sports and politics through Dr. Thompson's conspiracies and craziness. I don't follow sports, but I still like that Fogerty tune "Centerfield" and occasionally find I enjoy a sports-themed movie. It was with the same mix of reluctance and hope that I approached this audiobook. Thompson's over-the-top ravings interspersed with name-dropping from his personal life (Sean Penn, Warren Zevon, etc.) makes this deliver hours of entertainment.
