Lenny Bruce CD retrospective







Lenny Bruce CD retrospective

Lenny Bruce CD retrospective 09/22/2004 12:04 PM

Xeni Jardin: Newsweek's Brian Braiker writes about a newly released collection of work by comic legend Lenny Bruce.

If a comic gets onstage and tells his audience "I am not a comedian," he'd better say something important -- or really damn funny. Lenny Bruce -- the hepcat who took his act from L.A. strip clubs to Carnegie Hall, redefining stand-up in the process -- did both. Now, nearly 40 years after a fatal drug overdose, a dizzyingly complete six-CD collection of his trailblazing routines has been released.

"Lenny Bruce: Let the Buyer Beware" spans his career from his promising first performance in 1948 to the ravings of a haunted, hunted man the day before his death in 1966. The warts-and-all portrait includes hours of previously unreleased material and chronicles Bruce as he tilts against hypocrisy ("Censorship on the Steve Allen Show"), racism ("How to Relax Your Colored Friends at Parties") and religion ("Religions, Inc.").

Lenny Bruce in Reverse


Lenny Bruce in Reverse 01/26/2004 12:35 PM
A rant about a ranter who gets a nother 15 minutes starting on CNBC tonight. He was fire d from Monday Night Football and his HBO show was finally canceled after the big-word, obscure reference shtick got tired. Much has been made of his post-9/11 ideological conversion, but there's a case to be made he's just showing true colors dating back to his SNL days. At least back then, this ranter says, he was willing to take on any authority figure, without fear or favor. But now he seems to be a lapdog of the power structure, a "Lenny Bruce in reverse." I still admit to a bit of warm feeling for the guy, maybe because it's still a little flattering to understand his references in this dumb-o-centric age. But he scares me a little, now.

Lenny, Squiggy of "Laverne and Shirley"

05/17/2004 02:46 PM
BoingBoing pal Mike Outmesguine (who you may have spotted on CNN this weekend talking about why it would be A Bad Thing for the federal government to have the power to jam your cellphone in the name of counter-terrorism) says:
David Landers plays the voice of Henry the penguin on the kid show "Oswald" (Oswald the octopus is voiced by Fred Savage) playing on Nickelodeon. I sometimes watch it with my 3 year-old. One episode had Henry's cousin come in from out of town. His cousin was voiced by Michael McKean (who played Lenny.) I can't tell you how funny it was to hear Lenny and Squiggy pestering eachother in a children's show - while appearing as penguins!

Okay, the experiment is officially over; you can go back to being yourselves here (as of right now). Which one was I? The one who was myself - not the Alpha, not the Omega, not even the Tau Kappa Epsilon. I guess, most of all, I wanted to break the trend of personal belief bashing around these parts. You can claim to be me, but you're still not - just as I am not you. We're all each other, individuals... except for that one guy....

Xeni Jardin: A pair of thought-provoking op-ed pieces from Bruce Schneier, who says,
This New Haven Register piece looks at the security and privacy issues surrounding a police "gun" that automatically scans licence plates. It's an example of "wholesale surveillance" -- something only possible with modern computer technology -- and as such requires new thinking about privacy protection. Link

This San Jose Mercury News essay discusses how the tighter U.S. immigration policies affect foreign students and professors at U.S. universities, and how that in turn affects security. The more we isolate U.S. academia from the rest of the world, the more technological progress suffers. Link

“The ChoicePoint fiasco has been news for over a month now, and there are only a few things I can add. For those who haven’t been following along, ChoicePoint mistakenly sold personal credit reports for about 145,000 Americans to criminals. This story would have never been made public if it were not for SB 1386, a California law requiring companies to notify California residents if any of a specific set of personal information is leaked….

Bruce Sterling interviews 01/07/2004 06:12 PM
Two exciting and thought-provoking Bruce Sterling interviews are online today: an hour-long MP3 of an interview with Massi ve Change on the University of Toronto's CIUT radio and a long interview on the future of everything with Mike "Godwin's Law" Godwin in the libertarian mag, "Reason."
reason: Blogging seems to have taken a place in the culture that used to be occupied by fanzines, and maybe by the science fiction magazines.

Sterling: It had its apotheosis in people like Cory Doctorow [author of Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom] and other writers who really aren’t that interested in the old paper world. Cory actually publishes stuff electronically, and blogging is his Weird Tales. He is of a generation sufficiently divorced from the old pulps that he’s the dolphin among mesosaurs here.

Bruce Sterling's keynote from SIGGRAPH
'04
08/16/2004 04:02 PM
A BoingBoing exclusive: the full text of Bruce Sterling's brilliant keynote speech delivered last week at the 2004 edition of SIGGRAPH in Los Angeles. Snip:
Steve Jobs is a pioneer of personal computing and the head of Pixar. Apple is the biggest vendor here. It's hard to get any more SIGGRAPH than Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs has neuroendocrinal pancreatic cancer. That's because, like everybody else in the world, like you and like me, Steve Jobs is carrying a load of carcinogens in his flesh. Silicon Valley, as an industrial clean-up site, is rather well known for its mutagens.

The disturbing substances that are in the body of this captain of your industry, they should not be in there. They are wasted resources, they are systemic inefficiencies, they are externalities. We need ways to keep these substances organized and contained, and, eventually, designed out of the production system entirely. Steve is sick for physical reasons, for metabolic reasons. We may not know the exact chains of cause and effect, but there is one; he's not sick because some dark angel blew on his dice wrong. He has effluent, byproducts of industry, inside his body.

It's painful. But we need to understand that our bloodstreams are our dumping grounds. So are our lungs and our livers. If we could visualize that, if we knew and could prove what had gone wrong inside of ourselves, if we could put a digital medical imaging screen on our bellies, our lungs and our livers, and make those invisible problems visible, then everything would become different. If that knowledge was attached to every object in our possession, the objects that were killing us would vanish quickly.

That wouldn't be easy to do. But in the year 2004 it is no longer unimaginable. It could be done. It's possible to live in a cleaner way. We live in debris and detritus because of our ignorance. That ignorance is no longer technically necessary. Those who know, know. Instead, our poblem is becoming obscurantism, which is a deliberate hiding of the facts by vested interests who know they are injuring us. Such acts of evil must be combated. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
