True, I’ve never liked comedy that relied on shock value like the 7 words you can’t say on TV.
But his comments on political speech are priceless. “There should be a special place in Hell for people who take full responsibility.”
My wife and I saw him in concert locally about 40 years ago.
Leon Redbone opened for him.
We were 7 rows from the front, it was a fantastic experience.
I don’t remember him doing political stuff, but most of his material was nothing new. My wife had never heard a lot of his stuff, and she loved it.
It was a great night. I saw Cheech n Chong in the 70s and that was the first time I heard their material. My ears were burning by the end of the evening.
My wife’s cousin had an extra ticket to see Kenny Rogers when he came to town, so she took my wife. I felt a little miffed that they didn’t include me.
It turns out they had front row seats, and my wife was able to shake Kenny Rogers’ hand.
I didn’t feel so bad when she came home- she was a MESS.
Guess who opened for Rogers- Gallagher and his Sledge-o-Matic.🙂
