The Fruit Of My Searching-For-Heckling-Videos Labor
For some reason, I spent some time last night searching the YouTubes for comedians being heckled.
I doubt if I would be able to stand up in front of people telling jokes. Add a heckler to the crowd and I would be reduced to a pile of weeping goo.
I’m interested in how different comedians respond to hecklers, who are for the most part producers of noise cancer.
I found a handful of nifty videos, but this one of Richard Herring at the Wam Bam Club deboning a heckler (in a very friendly and polite way, I must add) was absolutely wonderful:

Four Kinds Of Crazy
Okay, it’s official. I am going to write a song called “Crazy”. It’s physically impossible to write a bad song with that title.
Patsy Cline – Crazy
R.E.M. (covering Pylon) – Crazy
Seal – Crazy
Gnarls Barkley – Crazy
Half and Half
We watched Heavy Metal Parking Lot last night. It was short, but sweet.
From now on if someone asks me if I’m f*cked up, I’ll know what to say to them.
Reno, Chicago, Fargo, Minnesota, Buffalo
Hank Snow – I’ve Been Everywhere
I’m Feeling A Little Old School REM-ish Today
R.E.M. – Seven Chinese Brothers – Live in Passaic, 06/09/1984
Sooner Or Later
Twenty days until the Feelies show at Maxwell’s!

I Kid You Not, This Is One Of My Favorite Songs
If I ever obtain the power of unassisted flight (and I might just pull that feat off, just watch me), this is the song I’ll be listening to while I go soaring over the streets, trees and mountains.
Technotronic – Move This
A Little Magical Jackson Dust
The Jacksons – Can You Feel It?
Is There Hope For The Future?
This song has been rattling around in my head this morning.
The Byrds – The Bells of Rhymney
