“In the halls of justice, all of the justice is in the halls.” - Lenny Bruce My all- time favorite quote of his!

Rest in peace Lenny. He paved the way for all the comics we have now. Thanks, Jordan for telling his story. Take care.

RIP Lenny. He was a pioneer in comedy. Wouldn't be able to enjoy some of the great comedians in the last 50 years if it wasn't for Lenny.

I enjoyed Luke Kirby’s portrayal of Lenny on The Marvelous Mrs Maisel. His performance of All Alone was spot on.

✨Glad that you did this vlog Jordan! Regardless of whether people liked his brand of comedy or not he was part of a much bigger issue. It’s so important that people have a voice regardless of whether we like it or not. Same thing happened with Billy Holiday for her song Strange Fruit. George Carlin is my favorite comedian and the things he “joked” about are so relevant today. Censorship is a dangerous thing imho. Blessings to you, Katie and Jah. ~Love&Light♥️C.

Great video, Jordan! Thank you !!!!! I do not think Lenny Bruce's efforts to make words non-offensive could have predicted how far it has gone today. People using obscenities as if they were candy falling out out of theor mouths... "Hand me my F'ing cup :( without anger or emotion). He's a grown @$$ man"... ehat, only his posterior has reached maurity?! Couldn't they could simply say, "He is a grown man"?

Great video. Here is something that people probably are not aware of. It sounds good that his death was more or less rushed over because of his reputation and all, but within a few days of his death Charles Whitman went on his rampage, and Richard Speck had been captured for the murder of eight nurses. Yes, this was a truly a turbulent couple of weeks.

Thank You For sharing this one with Us. I never heard many or any Lenny Bruce. I was born in 65 in my defense. LOL!!! I also had a conservative Mom. My Dad would probably been more forgiving if Him and maybe would have share with Us. This was cool. Thanks again, Jordan.

Loved this vlog!! As someone said about Mrs Mazel *unfortunately first time I got to get a glimpse of him*, hard knock life, but so very interesting! His Hollywood Hills home, gorgeous! He was a genius that wasn't recognized, it's so tragic! So misunderstood! Most (all) of these comedic genius, the thread that runs through their lives-mainstream society never recognizes what they are standing for/saying they are themselves, so pitiful that back then in society he had no voice! Thank you for bringing his voice alive for us. I want to read more now and read his autobiography. Love his story-so underappreciated! What a shame! WOW for all what he stood for shameful how near the end he was living! I wonder what happened to Honey?!

It's come out since that LAPD sort of reconstructed the scene for a photo op. Then people at the scene squabbled over ownership of the photos (luckily his friend Phil Spector bought them to try and protect him)

a legend that was ahead of his time in the wrong decade!! If he had made it to the 70's and 80's he would've been the GOAT!! by the way I saw the movie when it first came out and subsequently as I've aged and it still is great.

@lisag18 3 ай бұрын

He was in the correct decade because someone had to be first. The 70s and 80s would have been the 60s because there was no Lenny Bruce to kick the door down. For change to come, someone has to be first. People are born when they should be

This was a great video, Jordan. Being from Indiana which is mostly flat, I’m always amazed how house are perched on such steep hills in CA. Was Lenny Bruce’s house on top of rock? It’s what it looked like. You showed the driveway and I automatically thought it would be a bear to drive it when it’s icy outside 😂. TGIF 😂 on a serious note, the US government bullying a man for using his first amendment rights is disgraceful but not much has changed. If social media had been a thing back then, he could’ve exposed his comedy to the masses until the government shut him down again. 😢

Because of his lavatory sense of humor, Lenny was booted out of Australia in 1962. Australia was a very conservative country during 1950s and 1960s. Books like Lady Chatterly's Lover were banned

Love your content, you always do great work on good subjects....that said, nothing should be off limits for comedy? If someone made a comedy routine out of absolutely trashing someone special to you (grandfather? wife?), you'd laugh and enjoy it at the expense of their feelings? Wouldn't rub you wrong at all? Freedom of speech comes with responsibility and accountability. I love comedy, I love F.O.S., but even I know that you can't just say anything you want and expect no repercussions.

@@DazewithJordantheLion Fair enough. I respect your standing by your opinion. To be clear, I wasn't trying to go on the attack, merely offering up a counter-viewpoint. I agree that people should be able to say or joke about anything they like, but understand there are going to be reactions and consequences one way or another. Keep doing the good work, excellent research and I love your stuff!

the inside scoop is that a friend of his gave him a lethal dose of H just to put him out of his misery--the words that he got arrested for, you can barely have a comic career now without using those words and even worse now---did ya dig spellman on starz of jazz?
