What do you want to bet the original family repatriated it?

Here's a character straight out of A Graveyard for Lunatics, or a candidate for one:

Lord Jesus Christ Struck Down by Motorist!

He thought he was the Son of God, Savior of the Human Race
If he could walk on water, why not stop a car with his face?
Surely that's an easy task for the Ruler of the Universe
But when he tried to stop that car, he found out different for the worse.

"Atom and Evil" by the Golden Gate Quartet.

What can I say about this incredibly early anti-nukes song but Bradburyesque?

Good God, yes. He's still alive. They did some of his songs on A Prairie Home Companion not long ago and my uncle was just here and did his own renditions.

Just saw this linked from another site, and was quite amazed: colour* photos from the 1930s and 1940s. Some of these are quite Bradburyesque:

*Yes, colour. That's how we spell it over here!

With the possible exception of Ray Bradbury - I don't know if I've ever seen him wearing a hat!

I saw it once, live onstage, in his daddy's hat! Actually, I also saw him in a cowboy hat once at a library function with a bunch of kids.

Now that's a photo I've seen before, but had forgotten. Genuine evidence that everyone wore hats in those days, even Mr B!

That photo is also in Sam Weller's new biography.

my neighborhood is Bradburyesque these days. There was a family across the street that lived there for years and years, the father was really nice, and his kids and grandkids all lived in the house too.

Well, the father passed away suddenly, so the kids moved the mom out, and they put the house up for sale. The realtor nailed a hinged metal for sale sign up on the front of the house, which creaks and slams when the wind blows.

I go out in the yard when the neighborhood is really quiet and looks deserted, the wind is blowing and the sign is creaking and banging against the front of the house, it seems to say see how fleeting life is, one day full of life and family, the next day empty with an old sign creaking in the wind.

I expect to turn around and see a mysterious shadowy train approaching on the hills in the distance...
