Oh, and PS, I sometimes find Andrew Dice-Clay (or whatever his name
is) funny even if he can be extremely tasteless at times and does
occasionally turn me off.
But I personally think most people who claim to object to him probably
have never heard him or are extremely humorless and seem to not get
that a lot of what he appears to be tasteless about he's *satirizing*.
I just think these little things go around about who is to be the
heavy, not that he's completely innocent, but I also tend to suspect
that a lot of people who think he's this or that really haven't heard
him or just don't get it.
If you think an "archie bunker for the 90's" you're probably a lot
closer than you were. Believe it or not, there aren't too many men
these days who wear rhinestone-studded motorcycle jackets and DA
hairstyles who are taken seriously anymore.
But if someone wants to protest his appearance anyhow hey that's their
right and it's a bit disingenuous to start claiming that they're
violating his top-dollar 1st amendment rights. I mean, let's get a
grip here, the guy is an entertainer, you're allowed to boo.
