Poem: On Twitter

Bill Cosby is free because a lawyer was paid a heap of money to prove they’re the best at lawyering. Justice has been severed. Elvis Costello said he was fine with Olivia Rodrigo making a song that sounded like his – because his song sounded like Bob Dylan’s and Bob Dylan’s song sounded like Chuck […]

Comedy on Vinyl: Stand-Up Comedy LPs

There was a time when I would listen to Bill Cosby records. But as I told you all recently that time is most certainly over. I still retain some affection for the idea of a comedy record – and by that I mean an LP, a stand-up comedy show pressed to vinyl. There’s something wonderfully indulgent about […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 684

Bill Cosby, Bill Cosby Talks To Kids About Drugs (1971) Has there been a public bonfire of this sick cunt’s records yet? There should be. You can’t give them away. Well, you can – I inherited this one just recently, hiding in a pile of records I bought for my son…I wrote a while back […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 967

Bill Cosby, The Best of Bill Cosby (1969) I used to have Bill Cosby’s debut comedy album, Bill Cosby Is A Very Funny Fellow…Right! (I used to think Bill Cosby was a very funny fellow). Now it’s a bit tough to decide. I talked a bit about the Bill Cosby thing here. But I’d recommend anyone […]

Hey, Hey, Hey – It’s Fat Chance of a Comeback: Bill Cosby’s Artistic Death

We’re watching our heroes go down. They’re dying, or being smoked out – being found out. Humiliating themselves, falling. The pop culture boom from the mid/late 1960s is what drew a lot of us, directly or indirectly to music and movies, TV and reading. For every sad story of someone passing there’s a terrible reminder […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1850

  Bill Cosby, It’s True! It’s True! (1969) Bill Cosby has had a huge impact on my life, comedy-wise. From his books and TV shows, the cartoons and sitcoms back to his stand-up. Particularly the stand-up. He’s one of a rare breed practicing a lost art. He works with comedy that is both funny and […]
