Moved to Vegas

          Parts of Leaving Las Vegas read like a virtual instruction manual on how to drink yourself to death. Here O'Brien explains why his protagonist moved to Vegas in the first place, so he didn't have to worry about those pesky hours between two and six when he couldn't find any booze.

What It's For

The President, he's got his war

Folks don't know just what it's for

Nobody gives us rhyme or reason

Have one doubt, they call it treason

We're chicken-feathers, all without one gut, God damn it !

Try to make it real - compared to what ?

Compared to What ?

(G. McDaniels)

That Kind of Time

       Time passed again. I don't know how long. I had no watch. They don't make that kind of time in watches anyway.
