Music and Comedy

It started with a Steve Earl song,
"F the FCC"
wherein he mentions "Dirty Lenny."
Curious, I discovered "Dirty Lenny" is
Lenny Bruce,
famed and controversial comedian
notorious for obscenity cases in the 60s
and self proclaimed
"Lenny Bruce."
("I am not a comedian. I am Lenny Bruce.")
Following his acts on YouTube,
I came across Andy Kaufman in the queue
on the right side
and therein
found myself enjoying, quite heartily, his famous
Carnegie Hall performance
all the way from Tony Clifton's National Anthem
to the cafeteria line for milk and cookies.

What a day.
