For a long time if a British tabloid published a story on a "hellraiser" you knew exactly what that word meant. But in the public consciousness they're not really a thing anymore. Famous hellraisers include [[Richard Burton]], [[Richard Harris]], [[Peter O'Toole]], [[Oliver Reed]], [[Keith Moon]], [[George Best]], [[Hunter S. Thompson]]. Hellraisers still exist. But they're not glorified or glamorised really. The drunken stories look a lot less fun when seen on the cold light of a phone screen. *** Created: [[2024-02-25]]
