How to Talk Dirty and Influence People

I guess it's true that Jews really do have a lot in common with Blacks...
I remember the days when the media could make or break a career - now that job belongs to Facebook. I appreciate the candor of Lenny's writing.

Lenny Bruce wrote this book with the insight of a man who has seen the end and knows that it is near. These memoirs extol his wit, while examining the good, bad and ugly (much about himself). Mr. Bruce took-down badges ad named names without sounding wimpy, exposing the farce of the justice-system and giving kudos to those who stood for true justice.

At times, the book was difficult to follow, as Lenny wrote it the way he spoke - often a rant, like a conversation inside his head. I enjoyed to the fullest...SMILE!!!

This autobiography of the scatological comedian is illuminating, entertaining and intelligent.

Interesting, but dated values. I want to think of Lenny Bruce as a cool rebel, but he just comes across as plain old sleazy...

Lenny Bruce.
Nick Wannan just reminded me this was another read on our travels.
Not sure why it escaped my list.. but then there was the time between the two trips? I remember enjoying this one. Although vulgar he didn't offend me, he made me laugh.

Some douche saw me reading this at work and told me he liked the book it was based off of. Off of which it was based. Whatever. I quit that job.

Enjoyed reading these stories in his own words. If you don't want to read about his legal problems, this isn't the book for you. Much of the book is related to the trials.

As a bookseller in my prior life, I sold quite a few of books related to Lenny, and always meant to read more about him. I'd seen his performances online and reading this book brought me back to them; just watched the Hefner Playboy 1959 video- wow...
