Was that the Simpsons creator saying that?

In Field of Dreams, that 80s movie about a guy who hears voices and hallucinates about dead baseball players but in the end its ok because people will come from all over to see the baseball field he sunk the families money into so (in keeping with 80's values) its totally cool because as long as you sell out you will get ahead and be happy, the author character was based on J.D. Salinger, only he was huge and black and J.D. Salinger was regular sized and white. Also J.D. stands for Jerome David.

And right before he died I gues he sued someone in (I think) Australia for trying to right a sequel to Catcher call "Sixty years later" or some such shite. The book was published in europe, but banned in the U.S.
