Why is it always extra sad when a funny man dies?  He was one of the most inventive comic writers ever -- he had a poet's ear for language, sweet and savage and scatological alike. He will be missed.  |

Boy, the world sure has come a long way since he got arrested for doing his seven words bit. A friend of mine at the time told me that six of the seven had been used as rock lyrics at the time and at least five played on the airwaves as of 1972. Now, any rap record that sells has all seven in the first two minutes. God bless Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor, and George Carlin for advancing freedom of speech-and never mind that I hate rap.
