I do have to thank the Brandeis students, for they reminded me of this great recording of Lenny Bruce that I used to listen to repeatedly as a teenager–although I grew up in Manhattan, and my father was from Brooklyn, I think I owe most of my NYC accent to that record.  It was a midnight concert, in the middle of a blizzard, but the place was full.   It's still very funny, probably his best recorded performance ever.
