Kurt Vonnegut on Jazz:
"it saved my life during the Great Depression ... I went to a place called The Southern Barbeque, which was on Meridian and, man, they were making jazz and they were so fucking happy when everybody else was so unhappy. I said, “This is for me!” For years thereafter, jazz kept me going." (From Kurt Vonnegut: The Exit Interview by David Hoppe)
