GonzoFest, an annual festival, founded by US National Lifetime Beat Poet Laureate Ron Whitehead, celebrates the life and legacy of author and journalist Hunter S. Thompson, famous for his work with Rolling Stone and for still-wildly popular books, including Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. GonzoFest was a huge success for ten years in Louisville, Kentucky. This year it is celebrating its first-ever incursion into New Orleans, with headliners like jazz legend David Amram, playing with four local jazz musicians; Outlaw Journalist author William McKeen; and more of the crème de la crème in “Gonzo royalty.”
