Lewis Black defends Larry the Cable Guy
http://www.avclub.com/content/node/49217

It is weird, but I actually like Larry. I wrote the intro to his book. I've known Larry forever, and he's kind of been given a bad rap. I think he's a lot funnier than he's given credit for. Everybody sees him as kind of a right-wing nut, and he's not. And they yell about him because of his audience, so what is he supposed to do? People, what do you want Larry to do? Just not have an audience? "Since these people like me, I'm not going to perform for them?" You don't choose your audience.

****

I agree with him. I think Larry the Cable Guy is funny. Not Lewis Black funny, but funny. I think he's playing a parody of the people who have become his "fans".

1. I get Black's point, but . . .
I just don't like Larry the Cable Guy, and don't think he's funny. Sorry, Lewis. I like you, though. You're hilarious.

:P

Edit: 4, not 5, comes after 5 in a countdown. Must remember this.
