I Know That There Are People Who

The Real Issues I Don't Think Most People Touch. The Clinton Jokes Are All About Monica Lewinsky And All That Stuff And Not About The Important Things, Like The Fact That He Wouldn't Ban Landmines...i'm Not Tempted To Write A Song About George W. Bush. I Couldn't Figure Out What Sort Of Song I Would Write. That's The Problem: I Don't Want To Satirize George Bush And His Puppeteers, I Want To Vaporize Them. And That's Not Funny....ok, Well, If I Say That, I Might Get A Shock Laugh, But It's Not Really Satire.

The Audiences Like To Think That Satire Is Doing Something. But, In Fact, It Is Mostly To Leave Themselves Satisfied. Satisfied Rather Than Angry, Which Is What They Should Be.

I Would Do Nightclubs And Concerts - Particularly Concerts, Which Is Mostly What I Did - And Only People Who Already Agreed With Me Would Show Up. People Weren't Going To Come And Inadvertently Turn On Their Television Set And Find This Offensive Stuff Coming Out.

I Ache For The Touch Of Your Lips Dear, But Much More For The Touch Of Your Whips Dear.

Comedy Is Very Important, Yes. For One Thing, It Keeps You Sane. But It's Not Really A Conversion. I Mean, It's Marginally A Conversion, Because If People Tune In Or Go To A Nightclub Or Even Watch Television, And Hear That A Lot Of Other People Are Laughing At Something You Thought Was Not Funny, At Least It'll Force You To Reconsider.
