Sometimes it is fun to revisit old movies
I rediscovered an old movie from 1974 called "Lenny".  Dustin Hoffman stars as Lenny Bruce in this Bio-pic chronicling his rise to fame and eventual fall from grace.   Valerie Perrine shines as well in a completely awesome 70's kind of way. It is shot in black and white, which adds to the documentary feel and I walked away with a fresh understanding of just how important Lenny Bruce's comedy was.  Without Lenny Bruce there would be no George Carlin...No Sam Kinison.....No Richard Pryor



It streams free on Netflix ~ Dave Scott
