Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt

Kurt Vonnegut died. So it goes.

Slaughterhouse Five is my favourite ever novel, which was why i stole a line from it for my song Ghost. Actually i didn't steal the line, i just borrowed it. Kurt is welcome to have it back anytime. Maybe one day he will ask for it back. Its hard to imagine that dying will be enough to keep him quiet.

Meanwhile my plans for moving to London are making progress. I've told my boss i'm leaving and i've begun filling out the multitude of forms that are required to allow me to live there. next challenge will be to set up gigs in New York and maybe San Diego for August on my way to London. And i'm looking for people to form a band with in London. Das Ben and the Vandals of Love.
