Question to Mr. Ray Bradbury:
Have you ever been to the city of BRADBURY, California?

June 6th, 2007 1:57PM Los Angeles
Call to Ray Bradbury:

RAY: Good afternoon!
N: Mr. Bradbury! Nard Kordell.
RAY: How you doing?
N: Well, how are you?
RAY: I'm getting my work done!
N: Getting your work done? You ever rest? You ever rest?
RAY: I beg your pardon?
N: Do you ever rest? Do you ever just relax a little bit?
RAY: I never relax in all my life! There's never a question of being tense. I'm having fun! I'm not tense. I'm not nervous! I enjoy what I'm doing. So I relax in what I love.
N: Ray, someone asked if you have ever been to the city of Bradbury, California.
RAY: Tell them Yes. I was in the city 2 years ago, and was given a complete tour of the entire city, gave a speech out there, and then was presented the keys to the city of Bradbury...

(conversation then went on about his upcoming play, and his presence at the Santa Barbara Writer's Conference end of this month...)

I have no problem with such a thread, but surely it would be better to simply post a LINK to the posts you find interesting, rather than copying-&-pasting the actual text.
