You will change the times you live in. That means the culture,
the people, the government, all of it
AN ODE TO THE COMIC
I've never seen nor will we see --
a comic from the G.O.P
Humor's insurgent, leftist, progressive,
impish counter-culture, slaying dragons regressive.
You want controversy, views anger making
Bill Maher will bring home your bacon!
In flicks there's Sasha Baron and Michael Moore
Buy, rent share their RADICAL LORE.
Wit dresses to the left ala Stewart, Colbert and Carlin.
Tho at times it pontificates like the late Marlon.
A single gal slays the American Buffalo,
a lady named Janene Garofalo!
Sadly, one bright guy (until he switches
and joined the right wing sonvabitches--)
thought he'd speak for the conservative tack !
Dennis Miller didn't DIE, but is jobless in fact,
Quixotes joust with Matrix cant
adopting anti-racist slant.
One willing wit the system does mock
a young gun name of Chris Rock
Lenny fought off the anti pleasure contingent
the Presbyterian ethos (sexless, astringent.)
'Let us have profanity, sex, drugs and such!'
Out of Lenny came the Sixties, thank you very much.
So get your humor hot and flashing!
Liberal grist feeds reformist passion!
Fit out your mind in armor and spear.
Welcome leftist comics when they appear

How do you start on being a culture changing comedian? FIRST, get this
CD for 12$, By Woody ALLEN. http://laughstore.stores.yahoo.net/woodaloncom.html
THEN, practice comic rap slyly in conversation at parties!
Last, create a local actors' comedians' writers/ screenwriters'
FREE
COMEDY CO-OP. Such a group starts if you start it. EASY to do
really. Use Craigs
List to PUT OUT an AD in the TALENT SECTION, reading:
"LET's START an ACTORS'
COMEDIAN'S CO-OP here in town. VIDEO DP's actresses, screenwriters directors
invited. You get tape on yourself so you can attract agents, jobs."
Doing an ad at Craigs, you "feel the waters." as it were. You test market the idea. LOTSA kids will write you in answer to this ad. Keep their email addresses in a PC list. THE COOP list. CALL IT COOP. Easier to type than CO-OP! COMEDY COOP. You can get 5$ a head from every one who attends for 'snacks and the room.' Get a preacher to give you the church basement convincing him that your group will change society. It's really 'STAND UP ACTIVISM'
You know how to make EMAIL lists? Where you type one word and twenty
names go into the email? I am so used to the fantastic email client inside
NETSCAPE BROWSER VERSION 4.7 (vintage 1995) that I forget that
all browsers don't have good EMAIL SOFTWARE tucked inside. Tell me
what you do have, I'll download it, play with it and see if it's as good
as NETSCAPE VERSION 4.7 browser's inhouse mail and particularly, its LIST
MAKING ability.
SOME things we need to learn to run an internet advertised COMEDY CO-OP, perhaps as a paying biz.
1.) ADVANCED MAIL LIST TECH. Master your BROWSER's EMAIL CLIENT.
EUDORA
has a downloadable online mail client with all the bells and whistle.
Hundred bucks I think. For that reason, I don't use it, I USE NETSCAPE
BROWSER vers 4.7 which has a similar built in mail client with
the
features of EASY VISIBILITY, easy list making. And free, did I mention?
FREE!
2.) BASIC DOS FILE MANAGEMENT. Even these windows systems use
the old
DOS language underneath. HAVING A TEXT reading FILE MANAGER is useful.
go to http://www.ztree.com and download it free, and play with it.
3.) Knowing your basic WORD PROGRAMS. My pc's have three each.
All have
WORD PERFECT FOR DOS, (easy collation is its main feature, so legal
industry used it, loved it,) it has never been beat. COLLATING NATAL
HOROSCOPES I quickly with a single FUNCTION KEY (shift F10) slide VENUS
in AQUARIUS with MERCURY IN PISCES and assemble by collating. Bing
Bing
Bing!
I USE WORD PERFECT FOR WINDOWS to pull the text from the FORMER
one,
into the latter, save it in latter form i.e. a document. THEN I OPEN
it
with WORD (bill gates word processor found in the MICROSOFT OFFICE
SUITE.)
And save it one more time as htm. HYPTEREXT, so it's ready to go online
and be
seen.
4.) A GOOD HTM WORDPROCESSOR and knowing the various FORMATTING
REFINEMENTS, colored fonts, *Paragraph HEADERS with BOLD FACE, Stars
or indents, DIFFERENT widths of column, and for adding graphics. I use
the word processor that is inside of my NETSCAPE BROWSER called "COMPOSER"
as graphics are added most easily to files with it. Download Netscape Version
4.7 online, free.
5.) BURNING CDS - Selling them could be an idea, depending on the biz.
6.) Learn to use CRAIGS LIST for placing ads. http://home.earthlink.net/~loveguru/craig.htm
