RIP Howard Zinn

1922-2010




If you have a chance and like reading history books in your free time, check out:
A People's History of the United States.

I endorse it. It affected me deeply, similar to the way reading Vonnegut for the first time did, which is odd, I think.



Zinn's You Can't be Neutral on a Moving Train is the inspiration for Pearl Jam's Down.

Probably some Slaugherthouse Five parallels.
