Sorry the last couple Thursdays has been extremly hard. I am a little sick today but I still want to keep this post going. I first learned of Lenny Bruce through Comedy Central's list of the 100 greatest comedians he was number 3. Above Rodney Dangerfield, Eddie Murphy, Woody Allen and Chris Rock. The only people in front of him on the list were Richard Pryor and George Carlin, two comics heavily influenced by Bruce. He was arrested many times for the content of his comedy, and he was fearless able to talk about anything, no matter the consequences. Alot of his stuff is still edgy enough to make Patton Oswalt blush.
