Looking for Lenny Page #4
novelty house in Chicago,
he's got
a beautiful seller.
lucky cross,
and cigarette lighter combined.
[Audience laughs]
Lenny Bruce took
stand-up comedy
in dimensions
it had not been taken
since, in a smaller way,
lord Buckley did.
He wasn't just
being dirty,
he was using words,
you know...
Pointing out
the hypocrisy of words.
Like the--
he goes, you know--
f***.
Oh, I'm sorry, I thought they
were talking to me, you dick.
[Laughs]
Homosexuality,
sexuality,
these things that conservative
America doesn't like to discuss
and definitely doesn't like
to discuss in detail
amongst even each other,
never mind bringing it out
in a public forum,
which Lenny was doing.
[Cymbal dings]
[Bruce]
two prepositions
"Two" is a preposition
"come" is a verb.
"Two" is a preposition.
"Come" is a verb.
"Two" is a preposition.
"Come" is a verb.
The verb intransitive.
To come.
To come.
and as a kid when I thought
I was sleeping.
To come, to come.
It's been like
a big drum solo.
Did you come?
Did you come, good?
[Drum beats, cymbal crashes]
Did you come good?
Did you come good?
[Audience laughs]
Did you come good?
[Drumbeats continue]
Did you come good?
[Drumming]
Did you come good?
Did you come good?
Did you come good?
...I come better
with you, sweetheart
than anyone in
the whole God damn world.
[Audience laughs]
I really came so good.
I really came so good,
'cause I love you.
[Singing]
I really came so good
I come better with you,
sweetheart
than anyone
in the whole world
I really came so good
so good
But don't come in me.
[Drum beats, audience laughs]
Don't come in me.
[Frantically]
Don't come in me
me-me-me
don't come in me
me-me-me,
don't come in me.
Don't come in me.
In me don't come...
In me in me.
[Cymbal crashes]
I can't come.
[Audience laughs]
'Cause you don't love me,
that's why I can't come.
I love ya, I just can't come,
that's my hang up.
I can't come
when I'm loaded, all right?
'Cause you don't love me.
Just what the hell
is the matter with you?
What has that
got to do with loving you?
I just can't come,
that's all.
[Audience laughs]
Now if anyone
in this room...
Finds those two
words decadent,
[Drum beats, cymbal dings]
Obscene,
[Cymbal dings]
Immoral, amoral,
asexual,
the words "to come"
really make you
feel uncomfortable,
you probably
can't come.
[Audience laughs]
And then you're
of no use,
'cause that's the purpose
of life.
To recreate it.
[Klein]
Lenny Bruce's political bent
and social consciousness
was not an accident.
It was a metamorphosis
of sorts.
