A journalist and his lawyer take an insane, drug-fueled road trip from LA to Las Vegas and proceed to wreak havoc everywhere they go. This is fiction, but the journalist character is clearly a caricature of the author himself.
At first I was appalled, but as the story went on I started to see the insane humor of the situations the duo found themselves in. If these scenes were played out in real life, they wouldn't be funny at all, but this was a broad parody of the drug culture of the early 1970s.
