Have You Ever Had One Of Those

I Knew Most Of My Radio Listeners Were Lefty Political People, And I Decided Definitively Not To Be That Guy - Not To Address Politics.

Because We're Comics And We Pass Each Other On Campus, We Know Of Each Other, And A Lot Of The Time There's A Mutual Respect There.

When I Was A Young Comic In New York And I Wasn't Getting Any Work, I Was Wandering Around The Lower East Side With My Notebook. I Would Stop At The Guitar Place On St. Mark's And Talk To That Dude For A While, Then I'd Go To The Bookstore And Talk To That Dude For A Little While. I Had A Guy Over At The Record Store, And I'd Talk To Him For A While. It Kept Me Connected To Life.

I'm Interested In The Fact That Comics Are People Who Are Oddly Courageous In Their Desire And Their Commitment To Sacrificing Any Sense Of Normalcy In Their Lives, Any Sense Of Security, And Most Of Them Are Oddly Unique Individuals. Let's Have A Broader Conversation With People That Have Spent Their Last However-many-years Thinking About Their Lives. I Mean, They're Philosophers. They're Poets. They're People Who Are On The Outside Looking In At The World Through A Different Set Of Values.

If You Let Someone Talk For An Hour, You're Gonna Have A Pretty Good Idea Of Who They Are, And I Think That's More Rewarding Than Me Sitting There Going, "that's Complete Bullshit About Health Care."
