American comedian, activist and social critic
POPULARITY
Welcome to our new series, “The Beat Goes On,” where we will celebrate the work and enduring influence of Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, and the other writers whom we identify as “The Beats.” - that crop of artists who worked to expand our consciousness, exploring the hidden possibilities of post WW2 America in the 1950s - Other significant names to be explored: Diane Di Prima, Tuli Kupferberg, Ed Sanders, Delmore Schwarz, Anne Waldman, Carolyn Cassidy, and many others.We will also include jazz musicians like Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Dizzy Gillespie, whose sinuous Bebop lines influenced the expansive prose of Kerouac and poetry of Ginsberg, and comedians like Lenny Bruce, Lord Buckley, Brother Theodore and Dick Gregory with their scathing critique and unmasking of our nation's hypocrisy beneath the self-deceptive rhetoric of American exceptionalism. And, then there are their artistic children like Hunter S. Thompson, Charles Bukowski, Tom Waits and Lou Reed…. The list goes on.First off: we need to define that confusing term “beat”… Once the satirists were able to pin them down, the Beats and their devotees were labelled “Beatniks” (a cold war epithet) and put into a farcical box. This is where I, as a child, first became aware of them through the character of Maynard G. Krebs on the Dobie Gillis show. The child-like, pre-hippie with the dirty sweatshirt and goatee, indelibly played by Bob Denver, later of Gilligan fame. He was a gentle figure of fun, not to be taken seriously. But, the truth goes so much deeper. Kerouac defined Beat as short for “beatitude” - a state of grace, a codex for the maturing “peace and love” Baby Boom generation coming up - those in search of existence's deeper meaning beyond the consumerist and war-like American culture being offered as our only option.Well, boy, do we need them now! HENRY MILLER INTERVIEWOur inaugural offering is a 1964 interview with the writer Henry Miller, of TROPIC OF CANCER, TROPIC OF CAPRICORN, and THE ROSY CRUCIFIXION TRILOGY fame, among many others. This is an insightful, in depth look at a artist of gargantuan influence. Miller was interviewed by Audrey June Wood in Minneapolis during a speaking tour; he considered this interview to be one of his best. Miller discourses on some of his favorite books and authors and the struggle of writing well. It was released on Smithsonian/ Folkways Records.Strictly speaking, Miller was not a Beat - he preceded them, and out lived many of them, making it to 88 in 1980, but he was their spiritual and artistic pathfinder.Living hand to mouth, on the edge, abroad in Paris, writing free form in a raw, explicit, semi-autobiographical manner, telling the truth about sex, love, art, and struggle - he set the artistic compass for the Beats - as Dostoevsky and Walt Whitman had done before him. They are all part of a chain - a chain of searchers, and we are fortunate to have these lights to guide us on our own personal journeys to self realization. Please enjoy…THE BEAT GOES ON.

Dennis McNally was the Grateful Dead's publicist in the mid-‘80s, one of many reasons why he's supremely qualified to write his new book about the birth of the counterculture in America's West and East Coast and Britain. ‘The Last Great Dream: How Bohemians Became Hippies And Created the Sixties', a celebration of music, beat poetry, radical thinking, free speech and artistic liberty, seems even more precious now in the light of recent events. All sorts are discussed here, these being some of the highlights … … how the Summer of Love of ‘67 actually happened in the Fall of ‘66 in Haight-Ashbury. … “rigid, stagnant, terrifying”: early ‘60s America before the revolution. … the three key cities that “experimented with freedom”. ... how San Francisco “cherished strangeness” and had a self-proclaimed ruler, Emperor Norton, who created his own currency. … how the Grateful Dead - “the ultimate example of the bohemian pulse writ large in music” – spent $1m building a sound system when they were earning $125 a week. … the influence of Private Eye, Beyond The Fringe and That Was The Week That Was on British culture. And of Lenny Bruce, the Hungry I club, Bill Cosby, Woody Allen and Mort Sahl in America. … how Rebel Without A Cause and the Wild One helped establish the West Coast as rebellious. … “there are two flags of freedom – one to make as much money as possible, the other to be as open-minded and thoughtful about everything”. … Eisenhower said “in God we trust!” But which God? … the entire security for the 25,000 crowd at the Human Be-In in Golden Gate Park was two mounted policemen. … “nothing is more fun than researching”. ... how the counter-culture was created with very little money or technology.

In Soviet Russia, podcast listens to YOU! Yakov Smirnoff—comedian, actor, and professor of laughter—joins Andrew Santino to reflect on Soviet roots, finding the American dream through comedy, and why laughter really is the best medicine. Yakov's journey is unreal — from acting alongside legends like Robin Williams, Meryl Streep, Jack Nicholson, Richard Pryor, and Tom Hanks… to buying the house where Lenny Bruce died. What a country!This episode is a blast of nostalgia, insight, and Cold War absurdity, with a heart as big as Yakov's smile.

SPLENDOR OF BOHEMIA PRESENTS- "IN THE BEGINNING"- RICH BUCKLAND'S 2009 TEST EPISODE FOR WHAT WOULD LATER BECOME THE PODCAST SERIES THE WORLD COULD EASILY LIVE WITHOUT- OR CAN IT? WITH WILLY DEVILLE, LENNY BRUCE AND OUR SPECIAL GUEST CHARLES MANSON-DIG THIS!
Len passionately expresses his respect & appreciation for Jimmy's comedic reporting on political science. A fan of the Jimmy Dore Show for years Both Jimmy & Len had been big fans of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Comedy Central. No longer. Len listens to The Jimmy Dore Show religiously & encourages listeners of Black Op Radio to do the same. In 2006, the UCB theatre opened in Hollywood, asking Jimmy to come up with a show, different than stand up. Jimmy decided on a video show, combing outrageous clips of politics & pop culture, Pop & Politics. Pop & Politics morphed into The Jimmy Dore Show a radio show on KPFK, which aired for 10-12 years. After hurting his back & having downtime, Jimmy would watch cable news & realized we're not told the truth. Comedians like George Carlin & Bill Hicks helped pull back the curtain for Len, helping him see the deception. Jimmy's high school class Current Events analyzed events printed weekly in Time magazine. George Carlin, Lenny Bruce, Bill Hicks & Dennis Miller inspired both Jimmy & Len. Bill Hicks used to play in Chicago four times a year! Jimmy was able to see Bill's show around 40 times! Dennis Miller's Black & White Special is one of the most perfect specials Jimmy has ever seen! . Len was never really interested in politics, but developed a serious interest in the JFK assassination. When Len saw Exhibit #399, the "Magic Bullet", he KNEW the theory was impossible, creating deep suspicion. Researching the JFK assassination, leads to the MLK Assassination, RFK assassination, Sirhan, John Lennon etc.. Len appreciates how Jimmy exposes truth about Russiagate, Syria, Ukraine, Covid & the Nord Stream Pipeline. Cheryl Atkinson, a former CBS news reporter, recently admitted on Jimmy's show she felt CoVid was a psyop. Researchers were criticized for their views during COVID, despite being researchers for their entire lives. The DARPA program is a Pentagon program & Anthony Fauci was working for the Pentagon. Create the weapon, then create the 'vaccine' to counter the weapon you invented. The CIA lied about COVID, just like Anthony Fauci did & global governments. Lies about funding the virus, the origin, transmission, contraction, ethicacy, social distancing, masks, etc.. People in Hollywood who saw through the COVID lies & spoke out were ostracized, shunned & slandered. The same people who could see through Russiagate came at Jimmy over his COVID views. It was like the people were brainwashed or hypnotized, classic signs of a psyop. All of the people Jimmy Dore looked to for guidance during COVID were silent, not critical or pushing back. It was left up to people like Joe Rogan, Bret Weinstein, Max Blumenthal & Jimmy to speak out. The vaccine does not stop the transmission of COVID. Dr. Robert Mallone invented the mRNA technology, declared the mRNA technology unsafe & gave up. Dr. Mallone was a guest 3 years ago on The Jimmy Dore Show. Even if you've taken the vaccine, you can still contract & you can still transmit the virus. That the virus can still be transmitted despite vaccination nullified reasoning for the illegal lock downs. Jimmy suffered extreme censorship on Twitter & his channel was demonetized. Coincidentally, the countries with the highest vaccination rates also had the largest outbreaks. The government, along with NGOs, were "fact checking" & flagging profiles on social media. People will scream about Palestine, Yemen, Syria etc. but ignore the injustices of the COVID lies. More people died from the COVID plandemic, than in the Iraq war. Where is the public uproar? In 2014, anyone who covered what was happening in Ukraine, received all sorts of push back Oliver Stone interviewed Vladimir Putin about the situation with Ukraine. Jimmy declares comics are supposed to be naturally cynical & critical! No attempt to analyze Ukraine lies.
In this episode I manage to link quotes from my late mentor Ben Briscoe and the great Lenny Bruce to lead me to a point where the Dáil speaking time and Garron Noone debacles meet... and leave me less than impressed.
Is this Kismet? Ben Bankas is a great stand-up comedian who has recently burst into the mainstream.

The Woody Allen movie, "Manhattan," includes a scene where two couples are walking and the one played by Michael Murphy and Diane Keaton unveil their Academy of Overrated. To this body they assign Gustav Mahler, Isak Dinesen, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Lenny Bruce, Norman Mailer, Mozart, , Vincent Van Gogh, and Ingmar Bergman. The co-hosts on this recording, Korey Maas (Lutheran), Miles Smith (Anglican), and D. G. Hart (Presbyterian), consider their own list of overrated theologians. The ones discussed are Karl Barth, the recently deceased Juergen Moltmann, and C. S. Lewis. The reason behind raising the question is not to belittle any of these theologians' achievements but to consider how it is that a theologian -- when there are so many -- emerges as the "go to" authority for ending a doctrinal debate. It also relates to confessional Protestant theological traditions in which those students training for a specific communion are going to be much more likely to read theologians in the Lutheran, Reformed, or Anglican traditions -- instead of reading broadly in the theologians who transcend specific Protestant communions. A final thread of conversation was whether the "big names" of Protestant theology can survive in an age of megachurches and church planting networks. The sponsor this time is Ethan's Donut Factory in downtown Hillsdale, Michigan.

Mineola, New York, was a pioneering American stand-up comedian, social critic, and satirist. Known for his open, free-wheeling, and critical style of comedy, Bruce tackled subjects like politics, religion, sex, and vulgarity. Bruce's career was marked by his bold and often controversial performances, which led to multiple arrests for obscenity. His 1964 conviction in an obscenity trial was a landmark case for freedom of speech in the United States, and he was posthumously pardoned in 2003. #Lenny #Bruce #LennyBruce #comedy #history #Beverly #mafia #beverlyhils #truecrime #tedbundy #truecrimecommunity #truecrimeaddict #truecrimememes #killers #killer #murder #mindhunter #murderer #kansas #icp #ouijamacc #juggalettes #juggalo #bondage #twiztid #thegathering #murdermuseum #eldorado #odditiesandcuriosities #caveman #oddities #rare #parkcity #death #charlesmanson #jeffreydahmer #edgein #crime #horror #darkart #richardramirez #halloween #criminal #horrorart #creepy #btkart #truecrimeart #truecrimepodcast #cannibal #albertfish #r #thriller #netflix #truecrimejunkie #horrormovies #history #selfie #truecrimefan #homicide #mystery #truecrimeobsessed #scary #serialkillerart #truecrime #truecrimecommunity #truecrimepodcast #crime #murder #podcast #truecrimeaddict #serialkiller #serialkillers #truecrimejunkie #horror #unsolved #murderino #podcastersofinstagram #truecrimeobsessed #mystery #ssdgm #truecrimefan #killer #truecrimememes #unsolvedmysteries #creepy #paranormal #podcasts #history #tedbundy #criminal #scary #podcasting #coldcase #murdermystery #bookstagram #death #buzzfeedunsolved #crimescene #truecrimepodcasts #missingperson #missing #halloween #crimejunkie #news #myfavoritemurder #spooky #supernatural #truecrimestories #homicide #ryanbergara #shanemadej #murderer #podcaster #truecrimebooks #memes #spotify #podernfamily #boogara #shaniac #jeffreydahmer #police #s #justice #history #ww #travel #art #photography #architecture #love #culture #nature #travelphotography #photooftheday #s #historia #instagood #historical #worldwar #heritage #india #instagram #museum #italy #war #vintage #memes #picoftheday #ig #europe #photo #explore #ancient#germany #historymemes #usa #beautiful #travelgram #follow #historic #france #music #military #italia #castle #historylovers #a #medieval #life #education #like #facts #landscape #storia #world #old #city #historyfacts #archaeology #upsc #america #wwii #Podcasthost #Aftermath #aftermathpodcast #podcast #binge #bingepodcast #podcasttips newpodcastalert #slander #Hudson #aftermath #history #updates #storiesyouforgotabout #WW1 #WW2 #attack #terrorattack #nostalgia #Queen #mercury #FreddyMercury #truecrime #truecrimecommunity #truecrimepodcast #crime #murder #podcast #truecrimeaddict #serialkiller #serialkillers #truecrimejunkie #horror #unsolved #murderino #podcastersofinstagram #truecrimeobsessed #mystery #ssdgm #truecrimefan #killer #truecrimememes #unsolvedmysteries #creepy #paranormal #podcasts #history #tedbundy #criminal #scary #podcasting #coldcase #murdermystery #bookstagram #death #buzzfeedunsolved #crimescene #truecrimepodcasts #missingperson #missing #halloween #crimejunkie #news #myfavoritemurder #spooky #supernatural #truecrimestories #homicide #ryanbergara #shanemadej #murderer #podcaster #truecrimebooks #memes #spotify #podernfam #history #Beverly #mafia #beverlyhils #truecrime #tedbundy #truecrimecommunity #truecrimeaddict #truecrimememes #killers #killer #murder #mindhunter #murderer #kansas #icp #ouijamacc #juggalettes #twiztid #thegathering #murdermuseum #eldorado #odditiesandcuriosities #caveman #oddities #rare #par #mystery #assassinations #trump #Dahlia

Listen to Lenny BruceFollow along with the lyrics here: Lenny BruceWritten by: Bob DylanLenny Bruce is dead but his ghost lives on and onNever did get any Golden Globe award, never made it to SynanonHe was an outlaw, that's for sureMore of an outlaw than you ever wereLenny Bruce is gone but his spirit's livin' on and onMaybe he had some problems, maybe some things that he couldn't work outBut he sure was funny and he sure told the truth and he knew what he was talkin' aboutNever robbed any churches nor cut off any babies' headsHe just took the folks in high places and he shined a light in their bedsHe's on some other shore, he didn't wanna live anymoreLenny Bruce is dead but he didn't commit any crimeHe just had the insight to rip off the lid before its timeI rode with him in a taxi onceOnly for a mile and a half, seemed like it took a couple of monthsLenny Bruce moved on and like the ones that killed him, goneThey said that he was sick 'cause he didn't play by the rulesHe just showed the wise men of his day to be nothing more than foolsThey stamped him and they labeled him like they do with pants and shirtsHe fought a war on a battlefield where every victory hurtsLenny Bruce was bad, he was the brother that you never had Follow us @songsofbobIf you would like to support hosting my podcasts, please check out my Patreon where for $5 I will give you a shout out on the podcast of your choice.

Welcome back to Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions. This week on the show, we're sitting down with Damon McMahon, best known as the man behind the mysterious and compelling Amen Dunes musical project. Transmissions host Jason P. Woodbury first spoke to McMahon way back in 2012, when he was touring in support of the second Amen Dunes album, 2011's Through Donkey Jaw. Then, they checked in again in 2018, when he released the tremendous Freedom. Amen Dunes' sound has shifted and morphed all along the way, though some constants have remained—particularly, his mantra-like vocals. Even when it's hard to clearly understand exactly what he's saying, McMahon has a way of making his lyrics felt, as if the shape and sound of the words in and of themselves has some occulted meaning. McMahon's latest is called Death Jokes. It was released on May 10th by Sub Pop Records and it's a dense, layered gem. Built on beats, piano—a new instrument for McMahon—and stacked with samples of artists like Lenny Bruce and J Dilla, it's a difficult record to grok at first. It doesn't reveal itself quickly. In a media landscape that often asks us to rush through our experience of music, Death Jokes asks us to stop, to listen again, and to listen deeper. It reveals more as you sit with it. In that way it's a profoundly counter cultural album; it bucks against the mode of our day. This conversation follows suit, examining the way the digital age has tried to reduce human experience down to clean binaries. It's a conversation about spirituality, about the root of music, about the subconscious, and much more. Transmissions is a part of the Talkhouse Podcast Network.

In September, The New Yorker published an article by Clare Malone titled “Hasan Minhaj's Emotional Truths,” fact-checking moments from the comedian's stand up specials. The article reportedly cost Minhaj the hosting gig for The Daily Show, and Minhaj posted a lengthy Youtube video responding to its claims. The New Yorker has stood behind its story, even after Minhaj called it misleading. The scandal, which has been covered by almost every major news outlet, brings into question what audiences expect from comedians — especially ones who do Jon-Stewart-style political commentary. This week, Brooke speaks to Jesse David Fox, author of Comedy Book: How Comedy Conquered Culture and the Magic That Makes It Work, about why the saga provoked such a strong reaction. Plus, Fox explains the changing role of truth in comedy: from the authentic acts of Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor, to the vulnerability of Tig Notaro. Fox also notes that the fall from grace of Louis C.K., who pre-#MeToo was often proclaimed the "most honest" comedian, informs the rise of the hyper-performative, absurdist comedy of John Early and Kate Berlant.
