UPDATED VIDEO PLAYLIST.
Being around comedians is like having a front row seat to Smokey Robinon's ''The Tears of a Clown".
It makes some wonder how people with so much pain and so many inner demons can easily share their pain night after night on stage.
All for the entertainment of others.
I compare it to the lives and stories of blues singers.
I've always loved the talking blues style of John Lee Hooker.
I can imagine the characters and the places he describes in songs like "BOOGIE CHILLUN'' and "BOOM BOOM".
It's all about sharing life experiences and making it easy for people to relate to.
Just like comedy!
If you are not hip to the music of one of the true founding fathers of rock music...cause we all know the blues had a baby and they named it rock and roll,
get hip by checking out this site...
