Born on this day in 1922: the great Kurt Vonnegut.
My 11th grade English teacher threw me a Vonnegut book and said "YOU-read this ONE." He's my first literary love and he's why I wanted to be a writer.

This one mirror at school always makes me double take because I feel like it makes my head look giant. Then I always reflect on how I’m always not really sure what I look like. Is this a common feeling?

Of course Spin #1 today is Guy.
This was released earlier this year. It's a 1970 Houston coffee shop performance recording. Pretty interesting mix of his early originals (including "Step Inside My House") and some covers of Dylan and other folk stuff.

When we took our 4-year-old for his yearly checkup here in South Carolina, the questionnaire asked how many sweet teas he had a day. 0 was not an option.
We went to Chicagoland this summer & I ordered an “unsweet iced tea.” The waitress was like, “So, you mean regular ice tea?”

If you close your eyes
That would break
My heart in two
