last summer I was at a Reverend Billy Revival with Jill and Scott. This really elderly guy walked out and my first response was "Wow that guy in OLD." A few minutes later I realized it was Kurt Vonnegut. It was sad. He looked so frail.

i loved him.

even with all the artists who have died while i've been old enough to know and love them...elliott smith, james brown, even johnny cash....

this is the first one that's really seemed to hit me.

vonnegut represents a very specific time in my life.
and it's sad to realize that he's written all that he will write.

there will be no more.

reading that almost made me cry

he was an amazing writer
and such a frail, but good guy
it makes his death so sad, especially that it had to happen at a time and place he was so sadden and frustrated by.
(ps that all may be false. i never met the man; i just read his work, and those were my thoughts)
