So much truth spoken in 9 minutes and 16 seconds. RIP.

I understand what you're saying. He just talks like a writer though. They're always going off on tangents. Genius though, for sure.

I read Slaughterhouse-5 and fell in love. I'm now half-way through Deadeye Dick. Viva la Vonnegut!

Oh Kurt, Am in a way glad youre not around to see this - a financial meltdown of the US economy based on the greed of CEOs and the de-regulation of big business put into place by Reagan and ratcheted up by Bush. But gosh, it would have made the core of a great KV novel!Rest in Peace Kurt Vonnegut, we miss you every day.

Don't be so stupid. He's 83 and extremely lucid. Try listening to this great man. He was a lot older and wiser than you.

I think he's a respectable intelligent man but he doesn't seem to have all his marbles at this age. |
