"Lenny Bruce" was a great American comedian & satirist, whose brand of comedy was very deep and insightful. I would say that he was a cleaner version of Bill Hicks, not to say that his ramblings didn't contain adult humor, they did. But he wasn't as vociferous as Bill. 'The Berkeley Concert' was recorded live on December 12, 1965 at Berkeley Community Theatre, California, less than a year before he passed on. And was released on CD in 1989. This little piece of social history is on request from Stymie in Indiana. I hope this helps imparts some useful knowledge over xmas bud. Enjoy.

rogerebert,
Sorry, if you mean the link to Lenny Bruce. It is highlighted in blue within the post. In this case, it is "The Berkeley Concert" that is the link, which will take you to easy-share. Wait 15 seconds and enter the alphanumeric code and you away my friend.
Enjoy & happy holidays

I've certainly heard of Lenny Bruce, but I've never heard him speak. Thank you for making this available.
Yes Harry,
A classic comedian.

Well I couldnt let this pass by...a nice piece of "yiddish" humour that hasnt lost any of its bite considering how old the recording is....thank you
First time I really got into Lenny's wit, it had something to do with the name of the third selection on this recording. He was a major influence on George Carlin and many others.
