I hate to hate on Handsunderwater but Kurt Vonnegut was considered by many to be the greatest American writer alive after the death of Joseph Heller. So there is no problem with having Kurt Vonnegut as your favorite author. Kilgore Trout in everybook Vonengut talks about usually is talked about in a very obscure way. He has written over 100 novels and countless short-stories. His stories usually show up in Pornography Magazines or his books are only available in Sleezy backwater shops. This song is about someone wanting to be remembered for being great and is begging someone to help him be remembered. Even after doing so much and writing so many books no one knows who he is. I think Kilgore Trout is a direct reference to Kurt Vonnegut. Kurt Vonnegut has written many great books but many people do not know any of them besides Slaughter House Five and possibly Breakfast of Champions.
