Ooooh you're so cooool ! Can I join your group ?
Popularity ? Who cares as long as we entertain the masses . We love badness more than goodness .
I'd rather have lots of free advertising from offending my critics than a few wishy-washy reviews . Bill Hicks knew the score - the sicker and more offensive his material, the more his fans loved him and his critics hated him .The same with Lenny Bruce :
Lenny was arrested in 1961 for saying "cocksucker" on stage .
The sergeant wanted to have a word with him ...
"I took exception. I took offense" Sgt Solden exclaimed. "We've tried to elevate this street . I'm offended because you broke the law. I mean it . I can't see any right, any way you can break this word down, our society is not geared to it ."
Lenny replied " You break it down by talking about it...How about a word like 'clap' ?"
"Well, 'clap' is a better word than 'cocksucker'"
"Not if you get clap from a cocksucker" Lenny countered.
Now THAT'S COMEDY !
