As someone who spent about 20 years of my life in the music business, and also happens to be an ardent Hunter S. Thompson fan who is frustrated with this clunky and inelegant quote being attributed to him, I feel compelled to correct this.
The original line, from Generation Of Swine, is as follows:
"The TV business is uglier than most things. It is normally perceived as some kind of cruel and shallow money trench through the heart of the journalism industry, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs, for no good reason. Which is more or less true. For the most part, they are dirty little animals with huge brains and no pulse."
Granted, you did not attribute the quote to anyone in particular, and by definition it is a quote from someone, somwhere, but it seems worth correcting nonetheless.
