		<description><![CDATA[The Paris Review recently re-published a set of interviews with Kurt Vonnegut and posted them on their site (one of the interviewers was George Plimpton!).
Excerpt:
INTERVIEWER: Did the study of anthropology later color your writings?
VONNEGUT: It confirmed my atheism, which was the faith of my fathers anyway. Religions were exhibited and studied as the Rube Goldberg [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love the past because of all that it can teach us. I also like social tendencies of past generations and decades but you have to choose those more carefully. The 90&#8217;s was the &#8220;it&#8217;s not me&#8221; generation because the 80&#8217;s were the &#8220;me&#8221; generation.

Particularly his guitar albums like Shut Up &#8216;N Play Yer Guitar, Guitar, and Return of the Son of Shut Up &#8216;N Play Your Guitar. (Not the most innovative names but the music rocks the universe.)

		<description><![CDATA[Back in &#8216;96 a movie came out called &#8220;Who killed the electric car?&#8221; that sparked interest in why we are driving with combustible engines knowing full well we are killing the environment with them.

I think anyone who drives them is compensating for some, e-hem, &#8220;short-comings.&#8221; Besides, the only time a motorcycle should sound like that is when there is something wrong with it.
However, I don&#8217;t ever want to see someone crack their [...]]]></description>
