Hittin' the road for Bat Country, lookin' for Dr. Gonzo to take the edge off a long weekend. The mighty Dean Moriarty is riding shotgun, but we got room in the back if you're lookin' to hitch a ride to Vegas.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a 1998 American avant-garde satirical buddy road black comedy film adapted from Hunter S. Thompson's 1971 novel of the same name. It was co-written and directed by Terry Gilliam, and stars Johnny Depp and Benicio del Toro as Raoul Duke and Dr. Gonzo, respectively. The film details the duo's journey through Las Vegas as their initial journalistic intentions devolve into an exploration of the city under the influence of psychoactive substances.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was released on May 22, 1998, by Universal Pictures. The film received mixed reviews from critics and was a financial failure, but has since become a cult classic among film fans.

Nice, Daddy-O. Let's get some jive goin' for the drive. It's a long road, and there's no-one like Bird to make for a smooth ride through the Night in Tunsia on our way to Weirdsville.

Solid tunes - always wanted to play the sax but my fingers are too big. Didja know that music was why we didn't hunt you guys to extinction back during the Ice Age? Aside from birds and the dolphins, you guys make the best music on this planet.

But if I'm gonna tell a story set in the Valley of Fire, we need some Spitfire on the radio to go with these infected... err I mean totally sanitary mushrooms.

Brother, congratulations on the ankle-biter! You were sharp to agitate the gravel when you did- sounds like she pegged you as a square needin' some roundin' out. Just give her some time, keep telling her you love her and it will all be Fat City.

But big brother, your music ain't got no melody and not enough pop. You want fire, I'm gonna fire up the radio with Slim G's Hellzapoppin' to get your ears sparkin'.
