Actually, not. There is no bare bones journalism when it comes to HST's "Gonzo Journalism", he wouldn't have made a niche for himself if that was the case.
His style of journalism was to write a story about himself or his character set against the background of the real story he was sent to write about. An awesome blend of fiction and non-fiction performed or set on the stage of current events.
Sadly, he was widely misunderstood and under appreciated. His genius will be missed.
