To respond to all the haters in previous posts at once
Look, either you get it or you don't. As someone who gets it (and who can especially get the "awesome live band" aspect, as I've been privileged enough to see them twice, and both times from an intimate distance), I think this article and the thoughts Hyden…

Dude (or Dudette), I respect your freedom to not like the guy, and I suppose I can even quasi-respect your assertion that Vonnegut's writing is "clumsy" although I would vigorously disagree with it.

Too late, hot plate.

It's a trap!

Zack mentions the excellent Inventory (which is also now in the Recycler), but if you weren't around these parts when KV passed, you really should do yourself a favor and go find and read Tasha's obit, which I think was posted the day he died (or possibly the next day). It's moving and amazing, and if you love…

Agreed, excellent writing as always, O'Neal, you magnificent bastard.

Better be careful, Zack

Dude, you don't think Juliette Binoche is hot?

Yeah, yeah…just jonesing because I also don't have my copy yet (it's winging its way currently). Didn't mean to be impertinent.

Try putting the play on, Mike. I've directed it once, and was in it once, and neither time do I think I actually accomplished the feat of making it my own. How can you, when the perfect performance(s) of it have been captured on film?

The moment in that film when he's in the diner with Ed Harris and he says three "I"s in a row, sort of under one of Moss's rants…so perfect, so understated. He's one of the best parts of that film, and he's almost entirely in the background.

I could blow smoke in the stupid president's face and he'd just have to sit there groovin' on it!

Yes, but
Where's the damn Wise Man's Fear review?!
