in Heaven

If you haven't already, you should look at http://www.kurtvonnegut.com/. It's fitting, I suppose.

Is it just a sign of maturation when your heroes die?
Or the people you look up to?
From Kurt Cobain to Shannon Hoon to my dad to Layne Staley to, now, Kurt Vonnegut, it's always the same. Something just goes missing. Those people are no longer there to look up to, and their ideas aren't there to guide you any longer. It's time to take what you've gathered from them, turn it into something of your own, and stop looking for advice from old comfortable places.

It's time to become "B." Perhaps. And that requires and catalyzes maturity.

Just felt like I should say something.
God Bless You, Mr. Vonnegut.
