  The first time I heard it was as a videoclip (I assume Lee Perry was the one "singing" it).
  The guy at the presentation I saw said something about it being a text he had found about five years ago... and then he suddenly started talking about the video, which didn't make any sense for those who weren't familiar with it, because he didn't explain any of this...
  Anyway, great advice, great music. It actually helps you to relax, and the advices it contains are very very good :-) At least I think so...

    It's a fantastic speech, and though Vonnegut didn't write it, it really sounds like his style. The musical crescendos add drama. :)

      But have you seen the video? It's wonderful :-)

        No, I'll have to see if I can find it.
