Okay, I lied. I'm going to plug one more Kickstarter campaign here. Robert Weide is seeking funding to complete a documentary on Kurt Vonnegut that's been in the works for something like 25 years. Vonnegut was alive for much of that time and cooperating and being interviewed and I for one would love to see the footage of him.
Mr. Weide is a fine documentarian and producer and director. He helmed some great documentaries about funny folks like the Brothers Marx, W.C. Fields and Woody Allen. In fact, he's the gent who wrote the much-read defense of Mr. Allen from the charges that he'd molested one of Mia Farrow's daughters. (You may recall I was once on the fence about whether those allegations were true. Several friends have since convinced me they are not.)
Vonnegut is one of my favorite authors and also a person I love hearing just talk about his work and the world so I am pleased to back and promote this Kickstarter and to give you this link if you want to get in on it. If you're not convinced, listen to what Bob Weide has to say…
