Wow, talk about a flash from the past. I'm too young to have seen Lenny Bruce live, but my folks did, they had all the albums AND they lived to talk about it.
too early for me, the CIA killed him back in '66.......

I am also too young to have seen him, but I know he was a major influence upon George Carlin, Richard Pryor, and Bill Hicks, just to name a few. The genre of political humor was almost invented by Bruce. Dustin Hoffman played him in the movie Lenny; it is a very good movie, I highly recommend it.

Lenny Bruce practically wrote the book that these other guys played off of.

There's a Lenny Bruce biography (I think it's called 'ladies and gentleman... Lenny Bruce' or something close) that I found pretty fascinating - really brought to light all the shit he went through (self-inflicted as well as legal) since I wasn't old enough to remember that era and how revolutionary his stuff was at the time.
Last night i watched Lenny. Nice biopic and good insight into Lenny Bruce life and that specific moment in time.
The end bit overdose/suicide/assassination left everything in the open, i liked that.
The coroners picture told me all i wanted to know
