National Authors Day #nationalauthorsday

"I once told my wife I was going out to buy an envelope: “Oh", she said, "well, you`re not a poor man. You know, why don`t you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet?" And so I pretended not to hear her. And went out to get an envelope because I have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope.
I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And I`ll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don`t know. The moral of the story is - we`re here on Earth to fart around. And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don`t realise, or they don`t care, is we`re dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And it`s like we`re not supposed to dance at all anymore. Let`s all get up and move around a bit right now... or at least dance."

Kurt Vonnegut
Our hometown Indianapolis author

Born: November 11, 1922 Indianapolis, Indiana, U.S.
Died: April 11, 2007 (aged 84) New York City, U.S.

Kurt Vonnegut was an American author known for his satirical and darkly humorous novels. His published work includes fourteen novels, three short-story collections, five plays, and five nonfiction works over fifty-plus years; further works have been published since his death.

Kristoffer Kristofferson (June 22, 1936 – September 28, 2024) was an American singer, songwriter, and actor
passed away Saturday, September 28, 2024.
Sinead O`Connor was one of my favorite singers. Born: December 8, 1966, Dublin, Ireland
Died: July 26, 2023 (age 56 years), Herne Hill, London, United Kingdom

"Sister Sinead" by Kris Kristofferson

“I`m singing this song for my sister Sinead
Concerning the god awful mess that she made
When she told them her truth just as hard as she could
Her message profoundly was misunderstood

There`s humans entrusted with guarding our gold
And humans in charge of the saving of souls
And humans responded all over the world
Condemning that bald headed brave little girl

And maybe she`s crazy and maybe she ain`t
But so was Picasso and so were the saints
And she`s never been partial to shackles or chains
She`s too old for breaking and too young to tame

It`s askin` for trouble to stick out your neck
In terms of a target a big silhouette
But some candles flicker and some candles fade
And some burn as true as my sister Sinead

And maybe she`s crazy and maybe she ain`t
But so was Picasso and so were the saints
And she`s never been partial to shackles or chains
She`s too old for breaking and too young to tame."

"I was not about to do that,” said Kristofferson in 2010 on the Irish television show Saturday Night with Miriam. “I went out and I said ‘Don’t let the bastards get you down,’ and she said ‘I’m not down,’ and she sang. It was very courageous. It just seemed to me wrong, booing that little girl out there, but she’s always had courage.” Kris defended Sinead when she was booed during a Bob Dylan tribute concert at Madison Square Garden, shortly after her controversial appearance on Saturday Night Live in 1992. Sinead sang an a cappella version of Bob Marley and the Wailers’ 1976 song “War" in protest against the allegations of sexual abuse of children in the Catholic Church, which started to come to light in the 1980s.

Never Forget It is the 23rd anniversary of September 11. Whenever I hear the number 911, I think of that day 23 years ago. 911 is the number to call in an emergency, but I don`t associate those numbers with a phone call. No, I think of turning on the television on that sunny day after I learned what happened. After watching people covered in ashes running away from the Twin Towers, I felt afraid and sick and in shock....

Kristoffer Kristofferson (June 22, 1936 – September 28, 2024) was an American singer, songwriter, and actor
passed away Saturday, September 28, 2024.
Sinead O`Connor was one of my favorite singers. Born: December 8, 1966, Dublin, Ireland
Died: July 26, 2023 (age 56 years), Herne Hill, London, United Kingdom

"Sister Sinead" by Kris Kristofferson

“I`m singing this song for my sister Sinead
Concerning the god awful mess that she made
When she told them her truth just as hard as she could
Her message profoundly was misunderstood

There`s humans entrusted with guarding our gold
And humans in charge of the saving of souls
And humans responded all over the world
Condemning that bald headed brave little girl

And maybe she`s crazy and maybe she ain`t
But so was Picasso and so were the saints
And she`s never been partial to shackles or chains
She`s too old for breaking and too young to tame

It`s askin` for trouble to stick out your neck
In terms of a target a big silhouette
But some candles flicker and some candles fade
And some burn as true as my sister Sinead

And maybe she`s crazy and maybe she ain`t
But so was Picasso and so were the saints
And she`s never been partial to shackles or chains
She`s too old for breaking and too young to tame."

"I was not about to do that,” said Kristofferson in 2010 on the Irish television show Saturday Night with Miriam. “I went out and I said ‘Don’t let the bastards get you down,’ and she said ‘I’m not down,’ and she sang. It was very courageous. It just seemed to me wrong, booing that little girl out there, but she’s always had courage.” Kris defended Sinead when she was booed during a Bob Dylan tribute concert at Madison Square Garden, shortly after her controversial appearance on Saturday Night Live in 1992. Sinead sang an a cappella version of Bob Marley and the Wailers’ 1976 song “War" in protest against the allegations of sexual abuse of children in the Catholic Church, which started to come to light in the 1980s.

Never Forget It is the 23rd anniversary of September 11. Whenever I hear the number 911, I think of that day 23 years ago. 911 is the number to call in an emergency, but I don`t associate those numbers with a phone call.

National Authors Day #nationalauthorsday

"I once told my wife I was going out to buy an envelope: “Oh", she said, "well, you`re not a poor man. You know, why don`t you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet?" And so I pretended not to hear her. And went out to get an envelope because I have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope.
I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And I`ll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don`t know. The moral of the story is - we`re here on Earth to fart around. And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don`t realise, or they don`t care, is we`re dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And it`s like we`re not supposed to dance at all anymore. Let`s all get up and move around a bit right now... or at least dance."

Kurt Vonnegut
Our hometown Indianapolis author

Born: November 11, 1922 Indianapolis, Indiana, U.S.
Died: April 11, 2007 (aged 84) New York City, U.S.

Kurt Vonnegut was an American author known for his satirical and darkly humorous novels. His published work includes fourteen novels, three short-story collections, five plays, and five nonfiction works over fifty-plus years; further works have been published since his death.

Kristoffer Kristofferson (June 22, 1936 – September 28, 2024) was an American singer, songwriter, and actor
passed away Saturday, September 28, 2024.
Sinead O`Connor was one of my favorite singers. Born: December 8, 1966, Dublin, Ireland
Died: July 26, 2023 (age 56 years), Herne Hill, London, United Kingdom

"Sister Sinead" by Kris Kristofferson

“I`m singing this song for my sister Sinead
Concerning the god awful mess that she made
When she told them her truth just as hard as she could
Her message profoundly was misunderstood

There`s humans entrusted with guarding our gold
And humans in charge of the saving of souls
And humans responded all over the world
Condemning that bald headed brave little girl

And maybe she`s crazy and maybe she ain`t
But so was Picasso and so were the saints
And she`s never been partial to shackles or chains
She`s too old for breaking and too young to tame

It`s askin` for trouble to stick out your neck
In terms of a target a big silhouette
But some candles flicker and some candles fade
And some burn as true as my sister Sinead

And maybe she`s crazy and maybe she ain`t
But so was Picasso and so were the saints
And she`s never been partial to shackles or chains
She`s too old for breaking and too young to tame."

"I was not about to do that,” said Kristofferson in 2010 on the Irish television show Saturday Night with Miriam. “I went out and I said ‘Don’t let the bastards get you down,’ and she said ‘I’m not down,’ and she sang.

National Authors Day #nationalauthorsday

"I once told my wife I was going out to buy an envelope: “Oh", she said, "well, you`re not a poor man. You know, why don`t you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet?" And so I pretended not to hear her. And went out to get an envelope because I have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope.
I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And I`ll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don`t know. The moral of the story is - we`re here on Earth to fart around. And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don`t realise, or they don`t care, is we`re dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And it`s like we`re not supposed to dance at all anymore. Let`s all get up and move around a bit right now... or at least dance."

Born: November 11, 1922 Indianapolis, Indiana, U.S.

Kristoffer Kristofferson (June 22, 1936 – September 28, 2024) was an American singer, songwriter, and actor
passed away Saturday, September 28, 2024.
Sinead O`Connor was one of my favorite singers. Born: December 8, 1966, Dublin, Ireland
Died: July 26, 2023 (age 56 years), Herne Hill, London, United Kingdom

"Sister Sinead" by Kris Kristofferson

“I`m singing this song for my sister Sinead
Concerning the god awful mess that she made
When she told them her truth just as hard as she could
Her message profoundly was misunderstood

There`s humans entrusted with guarding our gold
And humans in charge of the saving of souls
And humans responded all over the world
Condemning that bald headed brave little girl

And maybe she`s crazy and maybe she ain`t
But so was Picasso and so were the saints
And she`s never been partial to shackles or chains
She`s too old for breaking and too young to tame

It`s askin` for trouble to stick out your neck
In terms of a target a big silhouette
But some candles flicker and some candles fade
And some burn as true as my sister Sinead

And maybe she`s crazy and maybe she ain`t
But so was Picasso and so were the saints
And she`s never been partial to shackles or chains
She`s too old for breaking and too young to tame."

"I was not about to do that,” said Kristofferson in 2010 on the Irish television show Saturday Night with Miriam. “I went out and I said ‘Don’t let the bastards get you down,’ and she said ‘I’m not down,’ and she sang. It was very courageous. It just seemed to me wrong, booing that little girl out there, but she’s always had courage.” Kris defended Sinead when she was booed during a Bob Dylan tribute concert at Madison Square Garden, shortly after her controversial appearance on Saturday Night Live in 1992. Sinead sang an a cappella version of Bob Marley and the Wailers’ 1976 song “War" in protest against the allegations of sexual abuse of children in the Catholic Church, which started to come to light in the 1980s.

Never Forget It is the 23rd anniversary of September 11. Whenever I hear the number 911, I think of that day 23 years ago. 911 is the number to call in an emergency, but I don`t associate those numbers with a phone call. No, I think of turning on the television on that sunny day after I learned what happened. After watching people covered in ashes running away from the Twin Towers, I felt afraid and sick and in shock....
