Classic highly influential comedy from the 60’s. Fifth in a box-set of six that span his career, this one is rich with storytelling, the Lenny Bruce skit comedy that he was so good at, that broke his fame in the 50’s. Great stuff, heavy on the subjects that got him arrested and subsequently blacklisted by the entertainment industry (for fighting back in court): definition of “dirty”, being framed for drugs, etc. 1) Religion: origins of sexual shame 2) taxation, entertainers income versus school teachers, courtroom skit rips entertainers of the day 3) “what I was arrested for…by an illiterate Yiddish cop”, defining “schmuck” 4) reading of a court document describing what he was arrested for 5) the ethics of Pissing In The Sink 6) goyish versus jewish, hilarious 7) having the cops break down his hotel room door looking for drugs, trip to the hospital for being “on drugs” 8) “tits and ass” in Vegas 9) spousal abuse, jewish-italian abuse 10) hot lead enema, selling out your country, life mag photo of Jackie O. 11) dick Gregory talks about attending the March On Washington 12) rather low fi recording of brilliant stuff lampooning “liberals” who claim to not be racist, census taking, general bigotry 13) starts with Goldwater/Nixon jabbing “jewish names?”, then a whole take on beastiality 14) “nigger-oh”, LBJ cant say the word “negro”, awesome 15) perverts, pissing, breast augmentation scams 16) laws 17) playing in Milwaukee, middle America reaction 18) marijuana comment, sorta abstract, brief 19) low fi hidden mic recording, backstage, some nice sax at end but not much else | ||
