The Next Evolutionary Step Is Into The

When I Was A Young Comic In New York And I Wasn't Getting Any Work, I Was Wandering Around The Lower East Side With My Notebook. I Would Stop At The Guitar Place On St. Mark's And Talk To That Dude For A While, Then I'd Go To The Bookstore And Talk To That Dude For A Little While. I Had A Guy Over At The Record Store, And I'd Talk To Him For A While. It Kept Me Connected To Life.

My Cats, The Ones That I Have, Were Feral When I Found Them So The Relationship That I Have With Them 10 Years In Is Very Mutual, Earned, And Evolved Over Time. It Was Never An Easy Thing. I Like That They Have A Certain Distance And Have Their Own Sense Of Selves.

It Seems People Are More Willing To Let Other People Control Their Minds Now And Recreational Drug Use Doesn't Seem To Have That Same Renegade Sense Of Adventure That It Once Did.

A Lot Of People Think That Jesus Is Coming Back. That's Fine, It's Your Right. But You Know, I Live In New York, And I Think He's Running A Little Late. I'm Asking Myself, 'alright, What Happens If Jesus Comes Back Tomorrow? What - Does He Make Rounds To Churches?' 'ok, Everyone Who's Been Good, Buses Leave In 10 Minutes. I'll Meet You In Front Of The Post Office. I Gotta Go. Oh, Don't Tell The Jews I'm Back.'

Comics Seemed To Have A Handle On Things. They Could Sort Of Disarm And Get Control Over Reality. I Found It Very Comforting To Laugh.
