Let's make this birthday one to remember.

89 years old (Born on April 09, 1935)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Oscar Zeta Acosta—the original Dr. Gonzo himself! Your fearless adventures, passionate advocacy for Chicano rights, and unforgettable escapades have inspired generations of rebels and dreamers alike. Who else could turn a road trip into an iconic literary journey? Hunter S. Thompson may have penned it down, but you lived every wild moment.

Today we celebrate your relentless spirit—whether battling injustice in courtrooms or chasing truth (and bats!) through Vegas hotel rooms. May your birthday be filled with laughter as loud as your legacy—and remember: when life gets weird again... you're probably doing something right!
