Misdirected white male rage can be destructive and terrifying, but also, under the right circumstances, very amusing. With this show, I aim to make light of the root cause that is underlying a lot of North America’s social and political issues. Laughing at this stuff is healthy. Your head yellers today are the Rev. Jim Standridge, and the notorious, and legendary Jazz drummer/bandleader Buddy Rich (who, if you’re not familiar with archaic music lingo, always refers to bad notes, or mistakes, as clams.) Both of these people were recorded by brave souls who had the last laugh on these bullies, and both tapes have become legendary. Jerry Seinfeld found the Rich tape to be so amusing he reused some of its lines for Seinfeld.
