Kurt Vonnegut

Just found out not fifteen minutes ago that Kurt Vonnegut passed away.

I’m speechless – textless – not because there’s nothing to say but because there’s too much, or at least too much feeling to convey.

Maybe this is placing myself too much into this situation, but as sad as I feel, I can almost hear Mr. Vonnegut catching up with his hero, Mr. Mark Twain, and another of my heros, Mr. Bill Hicks, as they LAUGH their ASSES off — in three-part harmony — over all of humanity’s foibles down here, as they always have but louder and with even more righteous satisfaction, since they were always right and now, being in on the joke more than ever forever, their laughs pile and echo and shake the spheres as they stir our human hearts.
