Wow.

I've got bad luck - I went to a fight the other night, and a hockey match broke out.*


*Robin Williams or Rodney Dangerfield - can't remember

There's nothing worse than a bad obituary, one like this which completely fails to understand and convey the significance of a life. From the way it was done, I'd guess the most Vonnegut the reporter ever read was the back of a couple of his books. Not to mention the subtle insinuations that Vonnegut was in it for the money/success. I mean, they made it sound like the pinnacle of his career was making a 10-second cameo in a Rodney Dangerfield movie.

One who obviously knows so little about someone else's life has no place eulogizing them and does them a disservice by doing so, though in this case, that was probably what those hacks had in mind. Bastards.

I'm a fan of his dilivery, it's even more misserable then Rodney Dangerfield
