Poor Lenny....like Jim Morrison, immensely talented and immensely wild. Neither of 'em knew when to quit, step back.....won't be forgotten anytime soon!

Dirty Lenny certainly pushed the envelope in his day - just too far ahead of his time.

I was just listening to Bob Dylan's "Lenny Bruce" a couple of days ago.

As excellent as it was, Fosse's Lenny didn't do justice to the life of Lenny Bruce. He was truly ahead of his time. His style, politics, and, of course, humor live on even today. RIP Mr. Bruce.
