Lenny Bruce

"This short section of Lenny Bruce's live work is based on his own tangles with the law over alleged 'obscenity'. Taken from a variety of different shows and edited together by John Cohen, it represents only a small part of Bruce's comedy. On it's own it may often seem obscure, sometimes indecipherable. But hopefully it serves as an introduction to the drama and poetry of Lenny Bruce's work. Some of it appears dated, though most is applicable in today's climate of moral hypocrisy and 'Victorian Values'"--Page [27].
