hiddenmuseKurt Vonnegut, Jr. - Dead at 84
I enjoyed Vonnegut's writing - Welcome To The Monkeyhouse was one of my favorites - especially for "Harrison Bergeron", a story of political correctness and parity gone horribly wrong.
And I remember that several years ago, he'd given a commencement speech, and delivered these words: "If you want to frighten your parents, and you don't have nerve enough to be homosexual, go into the arts."
Rest in Peace, Mr. Vonnegut. You will be missed.
