Re: Lenny Bruce/Howard Stern
A Sern fan sent this to me. He obviously doesn't have the balls to post it here in this thread> J. Lettiere: My IQ is 125, I do not work for the post office, but I have worked for the same company for 20 years. I left home at 18, received my Masters degree years ago, have been married for 10 years, and have two kids, a make a good living . . . I also just totally proved you wrong, since I AM a PROUD Howard Stern fan . . . Anyway, all of you who attacked myself as well as Stern, I'm going to side with Jakob Dylan, Neil Young,Ringo Starr, Clarence Clemons, Beck ("Odelay"), Julian Lennon, David Wells, Geraldine Ferraro, Mick Jagger, Mick Taylor, and others too numerous to mention, and continue to enjoy and support Howard Stern . . . I do NOT expect YOU to LIKE him, but I think you should have some understanding of him before you blindly criticize based on second-hand information . . .it is something I learned from listening to Bob Dylan. Why so hostile ? You mis-interpreted everything that I (and everyone else) said-- you missed the point . . . So it is of no use to try to have a dialogue with you . . you seem to know anything already . . . Jeez, you sound like such a funny guy yourself (YEAH RIGHT) Now, leave me alone>> (Sorry about the typo, but I'm sure you'd ridicule that as well If only I could be more like you--My Hero!) I'm impressed! (YEAH RIGHT!) But my IQ is 131, I'm married for 24 years, have my own business and own my home free and clear, and 20 acres upstate. I could give two shits for you, and especially Howard Stern, and don't ever compare Sterns' sophomore brand of humor to anything Lenny Bruce did. Howard Stern, doesn't have the fucking balls to do what Lenny did back then, when the words "shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, and tits" (George Carlin). landed Lenny in jail because he WAS! pushing the envelope. If it wasn't for Lenny Bruce THERE WOULD BE NO Howard Stern! I'm also not impress by his loyalty to his wife. SO WHAT!, I've been loyal to my wife for the entire length of my marriage. I don't believe that his fidelity is a substitute for talent, nor does it make him funny. Howard Stern is nothing more then Rush Limbaugh in a clown outfit. You know who listens to Howard Stern? Fucking Idiot Frat Boys like you, that's who! As to the people you mention: Jakob Dylan, Neil Young,Ringo Starr, Clarence Clemons, Beck ("Odelay"), Julian Lennon, David Wells, Geraldine Ferraro, Mick Jagger, Mick Taylor. The only reason their on his show is to promote something, not because the think like him, or believe in his style of humor. They get paid to appear on his show. And you'll never hear Bob Dylan on the Howard Stern show, he has to much integrity. I rather listen to George Carlin, Dennis Miller, or Chris Rock, with brain damage, then Stern on his best day.
