P.J. O'Rourke, the prolific author and satirist who re-fashioned the irreverence and 'Gonzo' journalism of the 1960s counterculture into a distinctive brand of conservative and libertarian commentary, has died at age 74.
O'Rourke died Tuesday morning, according to Grove Atlantic Inc. Books publisher and president Morgan Entrekin. He did not cite a specific cause, but said O'Rourke had been ill in recent months.
O'Rourke was a Toledo, , native who evolved from long-haired student activist to wavy-haired scourge of his old liberal ideals, with some of his more widely read take downs appearing in a founding counterculture publication, Rolling Stone.
