Bradbury




‎"As for my gravestone? I would like to borrow that great barber pole from out front of the town shoppe and have it ruin at midnight if you happened to drop by my mound to say hello. And there the old barber pole would be, lit, its bright ribbons twining up out of mystery, turning, and twining away up into further mysteries, forever. And if you come to visit, leave an apple for my ghost."

Few could have it written it better. Fine tribute to an exceptional author, Bryce.

It's odd, last night I watched Beast From 20,000 Fathoms which had some entertaining interviews with Bradbury and his long time collaborator Ray Harryhausen. It's been a better world for both of 'em.

Bradbury wrote so many amazing stories, but I will always remember him for what may well be my favorite piece of post-apocalyptic fiction: "There Will Come Soft Rains."

That was the first time I'd heard that quote, and it makes me smile. It's so unfortunate that we lost him, but he gave us so much. I sure hope I do get the chance to leave an apple for Mr. Bradbury's ghost.
