Good Guys Dance

My favorite author is Don DeLillo. He has been that since, 15 years ago, I pulled his play, "The Day Room", from the 75 cent book bin at Wal-Mart. It was small and, being a play, appeard to be quick free reading while I awaited the lovely to be done shopping. I sat down next to the life size plastic Ronald McDonald and read that play. I was mesmerized both by his writing style and the subject matter. It changed me. I've since read all of his books. His worlds speak to me from another place. My favorte is Underworld. Soon I will have read it four times. I found this piece on the Onion's website. As with all good satire (and The Onion is the best), it's speaks to truth. Someone else likes him too...
