No offense, John, but this is kind of a subpar eulogy for Kurt... he did so much more than the Doors ever could have done.

But I should qualify my disappointment with the admission of blatant hero worship of Kurt - in my mind, everything he ever produced was a goddamn gem.

Longlive KV. Sirens of Titan has favoritely soaked many hours of my mind.

Ugh what a TERRIBLE analogy. How dare you besmirch Kurt Vonnegut's legacy and body of work by comparing him to the fucking DOORS?!?!

I still read Breakfast of Champions as the greatest work of satire ever.

Right on.

If Vonnegut was really the Doors of literature, that would mean that at some point in your 20s you'd have that "What the fuck was I thinking?" moment and sell your old paperbacks at Twice Sold Tales. Clearly, this could not happen.

@6: Well, in my own case, that's exactly what did happen. Reading KV's obit was like reading about the death of a friend I last knew in junior high.
