"Who punches cabs"??

An acquired taste maybe, but definitely still relevant in our society today. One of the great intellectuals and comedians of the 20th century. It's really interesting to see how to see the subtle changes that he does from this performance versus the various recordings. If only I could be around to see him live.

Lenny was a great social commentator and this show is a wonderful review of the hypocrisy of our social authority and the legal system..

well said, gidwan. where is the patience for art anymore??!!?!?!

[jazztrumpet87]

anybody else notices how the views trail off drastically with each part? People can't hang on to this these days.

@jazztrumpet87

any multi-part thing on youtube follows a similar pattern - the first part is always going to get the most views, partly because people who don't like the first part won't watch the rest. But yeah, people demand instant gratification and don't have the patience to stick with things any more...

[jazztrumpet87]

@Gidwan yeah that's what i said.... although this just REALLY loses people.

I'm doing my dissertation on Lenny - I can understand why people don't get him, but it saddens me...
