Part of the reason some of biggest heros are comedians.
I remember at 19 being introduced to Bill Hick's comedy styling. From that point on I was a changed person. Its weird the first time you hear someone talk honestly and from the heart without a vail of BS.
I look at guys like Carlin, Hicks, Patrice O'Neil, Jim Jefferies, Jim Norton, Bill Burr, and of course Prior as heros of the world. We really need to hear the truth about perception and the realities of life. Sad only comedians are allowed to speak in such a way in a public forum. Excluding literature of course.
Theres hope though. Look at the success of political satire like Daily Show and Colbert. Clearly people wanna have the BS taken away from reality. Granted it may be a bit left leaning but still, they try and tell it like it is.
Ah well, life will go on. As Im fond of saying, if the nukes arnt blasting and were not eating each other. Its a good day ;-)
