F#$k me, Ray Bradbury

[Professor Zoom]

Why can't I meet girls like that?

I hope Bradbury has seen this.

I do wonder what he would think of it. I hope he has a sense of humor about it. Vonnegut wouldn't have... Especially if someone called him a sci-fi writer...he'd be pissed.

I don't think he'd find it very funny, given what I've read/heard about his sense of humor.

10:31AM Update: Rare bookseller James Pepper, a friend of Ray's, reports this morning that "Ray has not seen it yet, but tomorrow the Mayor and the city council are declaring Ray Bradbury week at city hall. Ray is going to be shown the video after that event at his house by my friend John Tarpinian who is accompanying Ray downtown. So hopefully we will know his reaction late tomorrow."

12:48PM Update: It has been reported to me that Ray Bradbury has watched the video twice and liked it.

It repeatedly calls him "the greatest sci-fi writer in history." What's he supposed to do, hate it? I fail to see how his take on it is all that relevant.

It's not relevant to one's own opinion, but another poster was suggesting what Bradbury's might be....

He coulda hated it. Vonnegut would have, if the song had been about him.

Well, if one admires Ray Bradbury, as many of us here do, it's nice to know he got a kick out of the video.

Well, yeah, but Vonnegut (much as I love the guy's work) was a little to crusty for his own good, sometimes, I think.

Agreed...about the work and the crust.

Huh. Well that's awesome then. Glad he enjoyed it.

Speaking of Ray, we have him as a guest at Hollywood Xpo in October. He just turned 90.

Hopefully, he will live forever.
