A comedian? A thorn on the side of the bigotry that infested the Americanbourgeoisie of the Sixties? A dark sarcastic fiend? However you want tofile Leonard Alfred Schneider, he will always be dodging the feeling thatyou can classify him. By the time he had died of a heroin overdose in1966, Lenny Bruce’s mother agreed with Douglas Records to the releaseof a few of his tapes that he had intended to use as a proof of hisinnocence in his numerous obscenity trials. This version of the tapes,released in 1969 with a different title from its original To Is A Preposition,Come Is A Verb, sees Bruce at the top of his performance and gives a hintof how unacceptable he must have been to his more uptightcontemporaries. An interesting document for one of the mostcontroversial icons of the decade’s counter culture.Track listing: Side A: 1. I Just Do It And That’s All 2. To Come 3.
