The Piano music played by Black's dead Mother is called "Beautiful Ohio"

@ThoughtTraveler Thanks for this bit of trivia. I actually always thought the piano song in this episode sounded really similar to Beautiful Dreamer, I didn't know until now that it's a song that already existed.

Was this story part of the Martian Chronicles?

[Vondur]

@ma049 Yes, in the book this story is called "The Third Expedition".

I reckon 'Mars Is Heaven' is probably the finest short sci-fi story ever written.

It NEVER gets tired.

@Vondur She could play piano with one hand and masturbated with the other, the noise made was to drown out her moans of ecstacy.

"People ask...where do I get my ideas from? Well, I steal most of them." I notice he doesn't talk about how he joined the Church of Scientology in the late 60s, either. Talked to Larry Niven about this in the 90s, basically asking "How could such a smart man fall for such an obvious con" and he just shook his head sadly....:)

@Kevin107ish No, that would be Jack London.

The title kind of gives the story away, though. Bradbury is THE great American author.

and since people are so totally different than they were even 15 years ago...
