Yesterday was the birthday of Kurt Vonnegut Jr., our generation's Samuel Clemens, in my opinion. I occasionally revisit Vonnegut's 1998 Rice University commencement address to savor its wit and simple honesty. Its a short speech - enjoy it.
Mr. Vonnegut's website is well worth taking the time to visit. You can even buy a T-shirt or piece of original art.
The apocryphal MIT sunscreen speech was actually an article that appeared in the June 1, 1997 Chicago Tribune, authored by Mary Schmich.
