What a fantastic read, I’m sitting here cackling reading it
but first let me say this; you are very mistaken if you think that I don’t know your audience.
Hell, I could’ve been heckled by the parents of some of the very people that come see you now. I grew up in Roswell, Georgia (near the Funny Bone and not far from The Punch Line). The very first time I went on stage was at The Punch Line in Sandy Springs in 1982 when I was 17. I cut my teeth in the south and my first road gigs ever were in Augusta, Charleston, Baton Rouge, and Louisville. I remember them very well, specifically because of the audience. I remember thinking (occasionally, not all the time) “what a bunch of dumb redneck, easily entertained, ignorant motherfuckers. I can’t believe the stupid shit they think is funny.” So, yes, I do know your audience, and they suck.
This is a great read, right up until it dawn on you, that after then, the united states elected Donald Trump to be President. Twice. They won, they beat us, the morons vs the enlightened, and it turns out we didn’t stand a chance.
David Cross wrote an open letter to Larry at the height of his career. It’s too long for Lemmy to paste it in, but here’s a link to it.

No, it was close. There was a chance, but you played fair, as that is what good ppl do.
What a wonderful read.
What an unmissable sign-off line
