Vonnegut interview PBS "Now" (2005)

Dug this one up today, I dunno, just seemed appropriate timing to see it again... (can't ever have enough of Vonnegut!)

NOW's David Brancaccio interviews literary icon Kurt Vonnegut about his life and the current state of American democracy. With his classic wit, the legendary author of CAT'S CRADLE and SLAUGHTERHOUSE FIVE comments on how American democracy works and delivers some choice words for our parties, our system, and our president. Vonnegut's latest book, a collection of nonfiction entitled A MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY, is a bestseller.

KV: Well, it's too late! Look, the game is over! The game is over. We've killed the planet, the life support system. And, and it's so damaged that there's no recovery from that. And we're very soon going to run out of petroleum which powered everything that's modern. Razzmatazz about America. And, and it was very shallow people who imagined that we could keep this up indefinitely. But when I tell others, they say; Well, look there's-- you said hydrogen fuel. Nobody's working on it.

Poem from Nick Herbert:

What a marvelous journey!
How we all laughed!
O such lovely companions
On this splendid old craft!
Here's to bold Captain Wilson
Who jumped ship last night
Amused to the end
By his share of the Light!

Hail Eris! Hail Arlen! Hail Schrödinger''s Cat
Hail Robert Anton Wilson
Wherever you're at.

with much love
Nick Herbert
