Lileks Killed Teh Funny

Take it away, Jim:

HH: Did you ever listen to Lenny Bruce? People made that…they don’t make it anymore, I think, because they revere only Bruce’s memory. But was he this repugnant?

JL: He was more interesting. He was a little bit more, he was more hepped up, shall we say. He was throwing so much stuff at you that there was something in there bound to tickle your funny bone. Toward the end, when he sat on the stage and read excerpts of his trial, he was in Maher territory. But at his best, he was funnier than Maher, yeah.


Somewhere in Greenpoint, Roy Edroso is trying to strangle himself. (And he'd have every right...)
