Hunter went off in style yesterday. His ashes were fired from a cannon on top of a 150 foot tower at his compound in Aspen. Celebrating the occasion, guests included Sean Penn, Lyal Lovett, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Johny Depp, who paid for the cannon. Hunter loved big explosions said his widow, Anita. Well he certainly got one this time. You can see a video of the event on the BBC, World News Web site.
