Lenny Bruce ORIG US Red LP Sick humor of Lenny Bruce EX 58 Beat Poet Fantasy   Lenny Bruce The sick humor of Lenny Bruce

Original US Red Vinyl LP released in 1958 on Fantasy Records. Cat: 7003.   

The lion's share of his second full-length release, The Sick Humor of Lenny Bruce (1959), seems to have been gleaned from a bountiful cache of recordings that Bruce documented during a multi-week run at the infamous Ann's 440 Club in San Francisco in the spring of 1958. Following the path of his debut LP, the artist's irreverence which would by most modern accounts be considered inflammatory, racist, sexist, bigoted, and otherwise socially unacceptable is captured on the stage as well as on the inventive studio-prepared piece of "poetry in jazz" mental wordplay titled "Psychopathia Sexualis." His love affair with recent news is evident on "Non Skeddo Flies Again," as he retells his warped version of the true-life events of November 1, 1955. On that day John "Jack" Gilbert Graham planted a bomb that killed 44 passengers on United Airlines Flight 629 one of whom was the killer's own mother, Mrs. Daisie King. On the other hand, "The Kid in the Well" contains ageless insight, truths, and nonsensical ironies that exist in racial and ethnic stereotyping. Yet the real kicker is the hapless physician who expects to be paid for services rendered even if that assistance happens to be saving "The Kid in the Well." Bruce's love of all things cinematic fuels his explanation of the Third Reich's rise to power in one of his best-known and oft-cited routines, "Adolf Hitler and the M.C.A." Although the acronym -- which stands for "Mine Campf [sic] Arises" does require a bit of artistic liberty, it is no less riveting.
