He's definitely a man of the 60's, and this book gave me some more insight into the man behind the act. Funny in places, touching in places, this is "I Am America" if "Stephen Colbert" (the character) were hard-core left-wing. Also, if you ever feel like trying pot or LSD, just read this book instead. Lewis Black is a trip, and he has a cute dog. If you like his stand-up, you should enjoy the book. Hoever, if you have heard his stand-up, you have already heard most of his book. I expected this to be much funnier. An autobiography, but a choppy one. 0.053 seconds to build listing
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0743544536, Audio CD)You've seen him on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart offering up his trademark angry observational humor on everything from politics to pop culture. You've seen his energetic stand-up performances on HBO, Comedy Central, and in venues across the globe. Now Lewis Black's volcanic eruptions can be found in Nothing's Sacred, a collection of rants against stupidity and authority, which oftentimes go hand in hand.With subversive wit and intellectual honesty, Lewis examines the events of his life that shaped his antiauthoritarian point of view and developed his comedic perspective. Growing up in 1950s suburbia when father knew best and there was a sitcom to prove it, he began to regard authority with a jaundiced eye at an early age. And as that sentiment grew stronger with each passing year, so did his ability to hone in on the absurd. True to form, he puts common sense above ideology and distills hilarious, biting commentary on all things politically and culturally relevant.
