billvon 3,121 #26 April 13, 2007 I think you can tell a lot about our culture by comparing the time spent talking about Kurt Vonnegut's death to the time spent on Anna Nicole Smith's death. To paraphrase someone else - it will be a great day when a writer like Vonnegut leads off news shows, and you have to google "Anna Nicole" to find out what happened to her.

I'm at work and can't pull up the URL, but there is a user on YouTube known as "TheResident", (theresident.net) who did a nice little farewell to Kurt Vonnegut. It's worth checking out.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!
