regarding Geraldo Rivera:

I remember seeing an interview with Kurt Vonnegut. He became visibly upset when Geraldo’s name was mentioned. He referred to him as Jerry Rivers. He said if he’d spit in his eye if he ever saw him again.

Apparently, Jerry, the man who sees fit to lecture black men on being better fathers and husbands, mistreated Vonnegut’s daughter; cheated on her and made her miserable.

I just read about his name change, something I did not know. Interesting story about Vonnegut. I miss Vonnegut.

Well, he's good for a few years, then it devolves into chaos. We've all known or met people like this. Some would call it socio-pathic behavior, a kinder way of saying it would be that he needs to evolve as a kind human being in a relationship.
