Past His Prime

I'm writing this on my new laptop. This thing ROCKS!

Anyway... on with the show.

Gallagher is a comedian who has never been funny. What does everyone remember his as? The guy who smashes fruit with a big sledge hammer. It was cute once, in 1969. In 2006 it's just dumb.

However, it has made him a fuck load of money. He hasn't had to go to a job, report to a boss, punch a clock or do any of the things that a majority of the country does daily. He has been living the life his fans wish they could.

So why would he rant on and on in the Dayton City Paper about how stupid his fans and Americans in general are and complain that he's only remembered as the guy who smashes fruit? I agree with him, his fans and Americans in general are stupid. Since I have no fanbase and haven't made a secret about my general loathing of our government and the minions that follow it blindly, I have no remorse for saying as much.

BUT...

I know better than to shit where I eat.

I hate hip-hop. When I'm working a hip-hop show, does the promoter know this?

ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY NOT.

Why?

I like to get paid.

Gallagher is an ungrateful, grumpy, old douchebag that is realizing his particular brand of hippy comedy stopped being funny about the time Ronald Reagan ran for president the first time. It is ironic, however that the guy who doesn't want to be remembered as the guy who smashes fruit has a website as www.gallaghersmash.com.

Now THAT'S funny.
