In 1969, I turned 15. If you had asked me at that time who my greatest heroes were, the list would certainly have included Art Garfunkel, Jerry Koosman, and Kurt Vonnegut.
So, in the distant future, on April 11,2007, I go to Mets Opening Night at Shea with my 15-year old daughter and Art Garfunkel sings the Star Spangled Banner and Jerry Koosman throws out the first pitch. All on the day that Kurt Vonnegut dies at the age of 84.
I’d love to go back in time and tell myself.
“Memory Brushes the Same Years.” Simon and Garfunkel, 1970.
