I think the idea is that it's a bad dream for him because he won't make it as a musician
I've read 12 of Vonnegut's books. He is fundamentally a social progressive, but there are also some moments in some 70s novels (particularly Breakfast of Champions) that I find homophobic. He also has a habit of making women either passive pleasers or full nutso.
But he also explicitly and repeatedly pushes kindness, egalitarian social justice, and willingness to change.
I highly highly recommend every human read Mother Night.
That's not his views... that's from an essay where he's parodying the mainstream ultrasimplification of political alignment.

You left out some language that I think clears up his ironic tone:
If you want to take my guns away from me, and you’re all for murdering fetuses, and love it when homosexuals marry each other, and want to give them kitchen appliances at their showers, and you’re for the poor, you’re a liberal.
If you are against those perversions and for the rich, you’re a conservative.
What could be simpler?
Totally changes it, doesn't it?
Maybe this time they can put in some GOD DAMN TOM BOMBADIL

Nazgul are just men in dresses!

"Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college."
Kurt Vonnegut
That is a fake narrative invented by right wingers.
Being beaten to a bloody pulp is fine and dandy, but how am I going to earn my money back?
ahahaha I love when trolls can't help but be carefully honest... you "backed" Clinton and Sanders aka you didn't vote for Sanders and then Biden and suddenly get redpilled by a Brandon Straka hoax campaign, you didn't vote for anyone at all! How's the weather there in Olgino?
You can kiss my ass you stupid motherfucker. Your troll tactic is weak and pathetic. By responding to something that bares no resemblance to anything I said you are attempting to avoid playing defense like a cowardly weakling. Boring and tired alt-right playbook 101. Yet you are so stupid and weak you don't realize that this isn't even a debate.... it can't be a debate because you've already lost: You got sucked into a stupid person authoritarian cult. YOU LOSE.
And yes I mean literal cult, literal medical clinically diagnosable cult. Q is LARP, a cult within a cult. If you think Trump is honest you are at least in the outer cult. It's really that simple. If you whatabout to something I didn't say instead of admitting that Trump is a pathological liar conman who is now fully embracing Nazi rhetoric on his journey to authoritarian dictatorship, then you are either fully brainwashed in or you're an evil fascist fucker who is pretending to have fallen for it. Either way you MAGA disgust me. Schooling has failed you. You could have learned some fucking media literacy. or a tiny ounce of critical literacy. Either would have told you what we all in the majority see so plainly. You are in a cult.
I have no interest in waking you up because if I did this would be the absolute worst way to go about it. But I don't care, because you weak losers are so pathetic I no longer want you to wake up. Trump is going to prison and you are going to cry. I won't get the pleasure of you crying if you wake up first.
Fuck you. You are brainwashed by a stupid cult. Donald Trump is a weak loser conman and you are inherently worse than that for falling for Q nonsense. You don't even know who was president in 2020.
