Okay, here’s my attempt at a rough translation of the article, from misty memories of high school Spanish (so don’t take it for verbatim, hombre):

“Located in the city for a few days, North American journalist, Hunter S. Thompson, a native of Louisville, KY, who toured South America. HST is a partner wtih the periodical company Herald Tribune and is touring several countries of (South) America, on which he has been writing a series of articles.
Thompson, who is also a photographer, visited the Guajira(?). He has come to Barranquilla and intends to pursue in the trade today bound for Bogota, where he’ll remain for several weeks, then continue to Lima, Peru.
We welcome the Mr. Thompson wishing him the best impressions on his visit to our country.

Comment on *HST – Rare Articles by Hunter S. Thompson - Why Boys Will Be Girls

Hunter S. Thompson - Why Boys Will Be Girls — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 01:33:21 +0000

[...] Hunter S. Thompson’s “Why Boys Will Be Girls” examines how tradition and (then) current events shaped the Hippy culture of the 1960′s as well as the reaction from the establishment of the appalling youth generation. Like most of his works, this Thompson piece uses the skeleton of the collapse of masculinity among males to frame the meat of the discussion, much like an essay; after a brief explanation of free love culture, the author presents the opinions of the “squares” who view this new social movement as poisonous, and then proceeds to disassemble the aforementioned arguments using the same ideology of the hippies. Every ten to twenty years, a highly popular social group forms and they all have dovetailing interests in drugs and anti-establishment sentiments; this article will always be relevant, as long as humans continue to judge one another. Thompson’s style in this article often times strays a bit too far from the main premise of the article with his facetious musings, but he always brings his main points together at the end, and never fails to entertain his audience.
