By subduing some of his trademark acoustic ferocity, Keller Williams has come up with a markedly more cohesive collection than past efforts. Rather than showcasing the technical wizardry that has earned him acclaim, here Williams melds his formidable skills with Tye North's restrained bass and Dave Watt's unerring drumming to create a more integrated work that backs away from the series of glancing blows and showy displays of instrumental prowess found on some of his earlier works. His stream-of-consciousness lyrics are still intact, but these wry observations and travelogues from the road show a greater depth and insight. The overriding theme here--the importance of honoring one's own eccentricities and remaining psychologically and intellectually free--are best expressed on the rather droll "Alligator Alley," a play on the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil," in which he wades deeply into the shoals of paranoia before proclaiming, "I set Willie free / Yeah, that was me." Indeed, his covers further amplify Laugh's keynote theme: both Ani DiFranco's "Freakshow" and the Michael Hedges's "Spring Buds" applaud the importance of following your own path. Which is exactly what Williams intends to do, laughing all the way. --Jaan Uhelszki

they are all laughing at you.......2007-01-11

I had this when it was on cassette it is still just a s funny now as it was then. good buy

Funny Funny Funny.......2006-06-29

This is one of the best comedy albums of all time. I must have listened to this at least 100 times. It has CLASSIC CLASSIC stuff like Tool Booth Willie, The Baffoon skits, the beatings of teachers....its just aweome. And of course...who could forget that it had LUNCHLADY LAND on it! Its worth buying the album just for that one song.

They're All Gonna Want Their Money Back.......2006-03-31

Fortunately, I got this so-called "comedy" album used, so I
can't complain to much about the rip-off. Who is Sandler trying
to amuse here? As an adult, I found this series of bits to
be pointless and more offensive than funny. Also, should anyone
under 16 be listening to this nonsense? I like Sandler in
most of his movies and on SNL. By trying for shock comedy,
I think he loses a lot of his likability. Some say this is
Sandler's funniest album. I'm not sure I want to ever meet
such a person.

I can't stop laughing.......2006-03-02

Adam Sandler is one of the funniest men to ever live!!!

I'm Coming Out of the Boooooth.......2005-11-02

Adam Sandler was the best reason to watch Saturday Night Live for me in the post-Dana Carvey era. The best was whenever he'd show up at the Weekend Update desk to sing his silly little songs. Then I was introduced to his first comedy album, ironically at church camp. Sandler's They're All Gonna Laugh at You had us on the floor all weekend and is still good for a laugh today.

The album starts off modest enough with Assistant Principal's Big Day as the namesake in the title making some new rules as regulating smoking. Of course this takes a turn for the worse as me matter of factly orders the girls shower into his office which then disturbingly includes the men's gymnastics team. And the album rarely slows down from there and really earns his Parental Advisory sticker as if any good parent would let his or her child listen to this.

Next we are introduced to the Buffoon who shows up multiple times throughout the album as he makes outrageous statements like telling his Dean of Admissions, played by Conan O'Brien, "I bet you got really hairy (expletive deleted)," only for the person he's talking to, such as the Valedictorian, respond to the Buffoon in almost scientifically. The best of the Buffoon's statement was when he told his girlfriend, "My dog has a four inch (expletive deleted)."

Another theme on the album is the severe beating of various high school employees such as the janitor, bus driver, science teacher, and Spanish teacher. These all got multiple spins when I was in high school in particular the Spanish teacher because, even though I too French, it was nice to see a foreign language teacher be taking down and try to get out of her beating by saying things such as "Me casa, su casa." And to this day, I still sing "Mop, mop, mop, all day long..." whenever I clean stuff.

There are a couple of missteps on the album as I find nothing funny in a dude taking a monster piss and the mother repeating the album title repeatedly during Oh Mom... get tired quickly. And hearing the dial tone go on forever during Mr. Spindel's Phone Call gets annoying. But none of these skits drag down the album too much.

The best parts of the album are the songs. There was the previously mentioned Thanksgiving Song was originally conceived for SNL. There's also Lunchlady Land that was brought to life hysterically by Chris Farley. But the best of the best would have to be At a Medium Pace that starts out as a cheesy Michael Bolton type love song with lyrics like "Put your arms around me baby, can't you see I need you so." But that quickly changes as he order's his lover to "Spit on your hand and stroke my (expletive deleted) at a medium pace. This build up to a crescendo until he again requests "Now pull up my (expletive deleted) and take the shampoo bottle out of my (expletive deleted)." If you ever want some extra hilarity, perform the song yourself as if you were reading from a Shakespearian play.

To this day, the album is still very quote worthy as I still say "You suck" like it was performed in The Cheerleader and still look for appropriate times to say "I'm coming out of the booooooth." And whenever I play with drunken idiots I always pull out, "Look at my hand, it's moving, but it's not moving." Sandler also brought in an all-star voice talent to help him out. Aside from O'Brien, there are other SNL alums such as Rob Schneider, David Spade, Tim Meadows, and Robert Smigel.

Funniest comedy CD we've heard this year.......2007-04-01

We picked this CD up while we were driving and needed something to stay awake. I'd heard Mitch Fatel on satellite radio and thought he was funny so my wife and I picked this up and laughed for about three hours straight as we listened to the album over and over. Mitch has a perfectly polished and written act and can sell each joke flawlessly.

Keep in mind - Mitch Fatel's act is very, very sexually explicit and not "for the whole family" but rather than relying on profanity and sex to appeal to the lowest common denominator, he brings a fresh perspective to some great tabboo subjects. If you're uncomforatable with the profanity but still want some great comedy, check out Brian Regan's "Live" CD for some good stuff.

Mitch.......2007-02-11

If you like the not so smart funny stuff this cd is great. Super Retardo is a good dirty laugh

Why he is not on the Blue Collar tour I don't know, maybe because he's too busy with his own schedule. If you like the old Good Ol' Boys from the BC tour, you'll find Rodney to fit right in, and maybe even Blue'r!!

Like a good bowl of 5 Alarm Chili and a cold one....

Laugh Out Loud.......2005-09-24

This is the first Rodney CD I owned and if it isn't his best, it is a close second (to "Hanging With Rodney" his first CD). Great to listen to on road trips or anytime you are in the mood to really laugh. This is the same guy on the TV show "Rodney" where you can see some of his tamer material on network TV. One of the best comedy CDs ever.

Not his best, but still good........2001-12-20

Unlike his first CD, which was great, this one seems rushed. The material wasn't quite complete. Still though a good effort, and a good listen.

The single best album ever recorded.......2006-11-14

It's all been said before, but I'll add my two cents worth. This album by Suicidal Tendencies is not only their greatest, but the greatest by any band at anytime anywhere. It makes your life better simply by listening to it and thrills you every single time you play it. Trip at the Brain is an electrifying opener with an absolutely unprecedented heavy trip in the middle over Rocky George's endlessly melodious lead guitar, it is simply stunning. Pledge Your Allegiance will have every ST fan jumping around with reckless abandon. The Miracle was the song every metal band in the world prayed to God to have delivered upon to them, ST lucked out I guess. Sorry?!, an intensely personal (so much so its lyrics aren't in the liner notes), utterly thrilling and endlessly sad song. The album's title track How Will I Laugh Tomorrow is simply ST's best ever. It encapsulates the virtuosity both musically and lyrically of this band and is as essential to life as the blood in my veins and the air in my lungs. Just buy this album.

Rocks pretty hard.......2006-11-11

This is the thrash album by Suicidal Tendencies. Overall it's about 50 times better than Join The Army, production-wise at least. The songs are still just as catchy. Pick it up if you have any passing interest in thrash.

Best work ever.......2006-09-04

Suicidal Tendencies has never been a "popular" band but they seem to manage to stick around. "How Will I Laugh" is probably their best work to date (and probably the best they will ever do judging from their more recent releases). Awesome riffs and strange vocals (but typically lame guitar solos). If you only get one ST album, this is the one to get.

The reasons ST made their best effort HERE..... .......2006-06-16

Having seen the band at a tension filled show 6 months earlier at an odd metal/punk dual bill in Oakland, I was not surprised to see new faces on the cover. Gone was co-founder Louichi Mayorga on bass, and they had added Mike Clark on rythym guitar. Mike Clark also wrote the music almost across the board on this album, and I don't know if he'd been storing up these gems for a rainy....er...band, but WOW!

Add to that the release from the tension of battling with his homey (they barely made it through their Oakland gig)with the sheer joy of finding a songwriter/solid-phat player like Clark, and Cyko Myko Muir was set free! He wrote focused thematic lyrics that finally achieved the urban balance between punk bark and in-the-pocket smooth rap (witness the outro/vamp on "Trip to ...")he had been looking for.

Rocky George(the most underrated lead player in rock) was finally completely comfortable, and had some meaty hooks to launch from and soar. Rythym section locked tight... man I had no idea when I picked it up that day in '87.

I got home, was busy with work on my own label, was about to go to bed... "Let me just check this out for a second" - my curiosity piqued. Holy Cats! Next thing you know I was WIDE awake, volume up, stomping around my room, wrecking s**t! As if I neede proof, caught them at the ensuing support show and it was MAYHEM. And that's just about what you want... truly great moments in Rock, better yet Punk Rock!

A THRASH METAL ADVENTURE, MY ALL TIME FAVORITE ALBUM !.......2006-06-05

"How will I Laugh Tommorow if I Can't Even Smile Today" is a unique album and in a class of its own. (kind of like Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and the rock genre.) This awesome thrash metal album performed by Suicidal Tendencies is one of the most "feel good" albums created in the genre.

Filled with very complex songwriting and sometimes simple but blatantly catchy riffs. Also a very serious album dealing with topics such as : taking psychedelic drugs, suicide, severe depression, hearing auditory hallicinations and more. The band plays at a reasonably fast pace while throwing out bursts of energy and emotion, it really feels 3 dimensional. At a few points, this album slows down a bit but never gets dull. It demands your absolute attention and creates a mellow atmosphere in your conscious. This is one of those albums that sounds so great after every spin that youll be sure to pop it in again whenever you want to just relax.

I gotta admit, the first time I listened to this album I wasn't as impressed as everyone hyped it up to be. After time I began to feel the music proving its worth to me. I realized that is was never hyped at all, its very underrated if anything! I began to see the real message they were portraying and the feelings about it just deepen the more you pay attention. Its like falling in love with it....... kinda.

I think to really appreciate this album you should do some research on some of the lyrics and topics, that is, if you dont know what they are. for example: audio/visual hallucinations, lucid dreams, altered states of mind, depression, psychedelic drugs (mushrooms, salvia divinorum, lsd, etc.) Only to understand the music better.

amazing.......2006-11-05

there is a uniqueness to keller williams' music that is hard to describe. The one thing that I can say is that no other album makes me feel like smiling as much as this one does....In a day and age where its fashionable to be miserable, keller has done the exact opposite and made a record that tells you not to take life too seriously..

Groovy, funky and entertaining.......2005-09-09

A great compilation of a variety of music styles. As usual Keller keeps both ends of the deal with great lyrics and accompaniment.
You will laugh and get down at the same. Each song has its own legs and you'll will be happy there is a whole album and not just one good single.

One of the best studio albums ever.......2004-08-02

This album overflows with the following:

1) Innovation
2) TALENT
3) Cool tunes
4) FUN!

I think the most important fact to mention is that there are so many different styles of music represented on "Laugh", funk, jazz, bluegrass, and not to mention signature Keller Williamsjust to name a few. If you are a newcomer to Keller, buy this album first, it really gets you into his unique style. Afterwards, in the likely event that you can dig it, your attraction to the music will tell you what to do from there.

If you've never heard Keller before, but are generally a music lover, pick up a used copy for real cheap. It is definitely a must have for anyone who can appreciate music in it's purest form.

I don't know how to say how awesome this CD is........2003-09-11

A friend introduced me to Keller. I bought this CD and there's no going back. My 50 year old Father even enjoys Keller's tunes. If you're trying to decide which Keller CD to buy, Have no fear. Kids, his version of Ani Defranco's FREAK SHOW will keep pounding in your brain for days after hearing this disc. Alligator Alley, Kidney in a Cooler, they're all just too awesome. Do yourself a favor and buy this today.

Keller is the coolest man on the face of this planet. period.......2003-07-04

The only way to put this CD into words is to throw in a short lyric from "Kidney In A Cooler":
...When up walked the mechanic with the perpendicular teeth
Perpindicular teeth (repeat repeat, etc.)

This is a fun album. The coolness overflows. Like one other reviewer said- it has a way of staying with you for the entire day. Especially the verse on kidney where he is describing his double decker double wide!

We all know that Ice Cube, founding member of NWA and former "hardcore gangster rapper," performs in family-friendly fluff comedy flicks aimed at the most mainstream of family audiences, but no one with any sense cuts him serious flack for that. Not only are the Friday and Barber Shop movies pretty great, but do you have any idea how big his bank account is by now? When it comes to music, what is the dude to do? It's obviously his first love, but he has about three choices: to work with the Neptunes and try to update himself; to go completely middle America and do a Broadway revue or something; or he can do what he's always done: flex his lyrical muscles, squint a lot, bark out some hardcore lines on top of slick hip-hop--you know, to try and restore his cred. A glance at the song titles will tell you which choice he made. It's interesting to know that the very rich still have problems ("Child Support") and even millionaires have to convince us all that they're tough just like they did when they were broke-ass ("Why We Thugs"). There's some real political commentary here, but it gets lost in uninspired beats and that super-dated style, genre... everything. It would seem that Cube's producers forgot to tell him that no one really cares for that '92 stuff anymore. --Mike McGonigal

Ice Cube Still Has It!.......2007-06-20

Years have past, and Ice Cube has released many albums, but last year's release 'Laugh Now Cry Later' is proof that he still has it. The delivery, lyrics, and beats on here are all very great, and the production on here is excellent as well.

Released independently on Ice Cube's own Lench Mob Records (which will also be home to WC's next album, 'Guilty by Affiliation'), 'Laugh Now Cry Later' has many stand-out tracks. 'Child Support' addresses all they young rappers ruining the industry that legends like Cube put down, 'Laugh Now, Cry Later' has interesting lyrics and a nice beat, 'Stop Snitchin' is self explanatory and is an angry and excellent track. The first single, 'Go to Church (feat. Snoop Dogg & Lil Jon)' is among the best on this album, and is an extremely addictive track the first few times you hear it. The rest of the album is also quality, except for...

'Doin' What It 'Pose 2Do' is a very boring and forgettable track, and You Gotta Lotta That (featuring Snoop Dogg)' has a typical Lil Jon beat and sounds like filler. Otherwise, this album is superb, and one of the best Ice Cube has put out yet. He's still on top of his game, it's just unfortunate that his next album (titled 'Last Roll of the Dice').will be his last (at least he won't be releasing albums past his prime like Too $hort).

Stand-out tracks: 'Go To Church (featuring Snoop Dogg & Lil Jon)', 'Child Support', 'Chrome & Paint (featuring WC)'.

7th solo from the Don Mega maybe his best - 4.5 stars.......2007-03-20

Ice Cube is finally back with another solo after a little over 6 years, and I have to say it's probably my favorite of his solo's ( I don't have "Amerikkaz Nightmare" or "War & Peace Vol. 1"). After being in the rap game for almost 20 years, he still brings heat on the mic and still has a lot to say, not as political as his first 4 albums fromt eh early 90's, but I like this more. With 16 songs, 6 are ok, and 10 are good, with the majority being real good, but no classic song however. Guests are minimal (unlike his last 2 albums) and I think it really helps (since the 3 guests are all vets as well and are only on 4 songs. Production is very good as well. Lil Jon does 3 songs, Scott Storch, Budda, Teak teak & dee, Emile, Laylaw & D Maq all do 2 songs, Green lantern, Swizz Beats, Sean C & LV all do 1 song. A must have album and one of the better albums of 2006.

Surprisingly Good.....Then Again...It Shouldn't Be A Surprise.......2007-02-09

Being that I've been a Cube fan and an NWA fan since I first head "Dopeman" back in the day, I've pretty much bought or supported everything Cube has done..the dope and the not so dope stuff.

I had flip flopped on buying the CD until one of the youngins I worked with let me take it home for the weekend. I must say I was extremely impressed. It had it's valleys with some songs as well, but for the most part, it was a good comeback for CUBE.

I haven't heard ICECUBE flow this good since WAR & PEACE pt. 1 and the single he did with Dre & Ren for the second Friday soundtrack called "Hello". Everybody knows the line well.... "Hello, I started this gangsta sh@#$$%t, and this the MF-in thanks I get". That line is so synonymous with just how much Cube has given to the game of rap, and to the West Coast period.

"Child Support" no doubt is vintage old skool Cube but basically letting the youngsters out there know that they are eating good, and being taken care by the rap game they way they are these days because he is still at the very least, the Godfather of West Coast Gangsta Rap, along with NWA, Eazy,Too-Short, DJ Quik, MC Eight. However, what sets CUBE apart from all the other West Coast rappers was that after Amerikkka's Most Wanted, he had East Coast bamas sweating him and wearing Khaki's and black hats as well. Some partly because the "Bomb Squad" (who produced Public Enemy records) produced that album and it gave it East Coast legitimacy, and the most part is that at the time, you couldn't find another rapper that rapped with such anger, fire and passion. He basically was expressing what young black men in the hood was feeling on the East and West, North and South coast. While we had P.E. and X-Clan and Paris, KRS-ONE, Rakim, dropping knowledge about the political, ICE CUBE was dropping the anger and the knowledge felt by young black men regarding feelings towards the police brutality, why liquor stores and gun shops were on every black corner, why korean and asian stores were on ever corner of the hood, and the gang bangin that those fellow East Coast artists weren't addressing. Ice-T introduced other coasts in America to bangin and police brutality with "COLORS". ICECUBE & NWA brought us right into the West Coast hood itself, and forced us to see up close and personal with "Straight Outta Compton & F-The Police. Every black male growing up with me felt the same about the Police, but no other group had the guzubas to put it on wax though. Growing up in New York and later moving to D.C., I must say it was a bitter pill to swallow. ICECUBE became our West Coast News Anchor without the FCC sugarcoating it or censoring anything. And of course was the first one (along with PAC on 1991 2PACOLYPSE NOW "Violent" who ironically would be brutalized severely by Oakland Police that same year) who predicted, and rapped about the brutality from the police that L.A. would riot and sure enough 1 year later we had the L.A. riots of 1992.

Of course like most artists, after they've aged 20+ years, have kids of their own, made tons of loot, they may not be as angry as they were when they were 18 years of age, but I'm sure CUBE still faces his own problems not only in the music industry which is shady enough, but the film industry which is basically the mob disguised as glitz and glamour. I'm sure it wasn't easy for him to get his own and keep it. I still read articles from haters even after twenty years, with CUBE doing positive things always bring up "Black Korea" from the Death Certificate album which I love just as equally as Amerikkka's Most Wanted.

Decent album overall from one of the original O.G.'s in the game. If you look, just how many rappers are left in this game who's put in almost 20 years in the game? LL, DR DRE, CUBE, MR SCARFACE & GETO BOYS, TOO-SHORT and can still sell records. Says a lot about the artist and his staying power.

Cube's gettin soft .......2007-01-21

this CD was not what I was expecting, it did'nt seem like Cube at all maybe it's all the money that has made this guy so soft now. I guess the CD is okay at best though.

....." He conversed inexiplicably with an ancient cockroach in a sombrero, he knew instantly to be.........".......2007-07-26

My favorite recording, beginning with the record, somewhere west of Hellmouth, California, that summer of 1974.A true classic, in the fourth dimensional way of viewing all things, not insane.

Top drawer.......2007-02-20

Their best albums get better the more you listen & this one dosen't disapoint. I bought the vinyl when it first came out and upon listening the other day discovered another sub-plot that I'd never noticed and split a gut all over again. One thing though. Search out the movie version of this. Don't believe it's ever been out on DVD but I've seen the VHS (& beta) versions around.

Yea, now ye may be consumed by thee righteous truth: in book 5 Firesign, side one, hear ye, "everything you know is wrong". Amen

Dig a hole deeper enough and everybody will wanna jump in........2005-06-22

This 1974 outing predicted the whole UFO / Roswell interest that reached it's peak 20 years later on TV and many of the new-age concepts now considered common place. But it's the timing of the jokes, the expert delivery and the well fleshed out characters that make this one of the Firesign's best. A coherent, honestly conceived work that inspires repeated listenings and endless quoting.

Firesign explores Aliens.......2005-05-06

I'm going to be brutally honest about this album. Their other generally early efforts like HOW CAN YOU BE..., DON'T CRUSH THAT DWARF..., WAITING FOR ELECTRITIAN are the first albums you should get if you're new to the Firesign boys. Those were surreial multi-layered timeless classics, that were ahead of their time, and both those and the Bozos album told the future for some things.

For all I know there aren't extra-terrestrials, but maybe back in 1974 anything was possible.

The first 5 or so minutes of this album is absolutley hilarious, and draws the listener in to hear more. But by the time of the Civil War recording, they begin to overkill, the bits drag along and much of it is inaudible during unexplained thudding in the slavery bit. The album doesn't get better except maybe the phone conversations, and I love how Cox walks out and the TV remains on. But the album never really recovers, and I sit there wondering why I'm listening to nothing. It's not funny, it's not music, or a real story to follow, it's nothing. Minus one star. There is a really abrupt, anti-climaxed ending, and no sequel opportunities possible. Brilliant!

The thing that was most surprising was that this album doesn't grow on you. It basically gets less funny, because you know what they are gonna say. In an album like DWARF you hear something new in the backround, or find a connection everytime. This was just a weak album, and I heard it was a classic, but it wasn't. Minus another.

The greatest hits of Firesign album has included the Army Training Film which seems like the only thing out of context that would make sense, but not neccisairily the best of the album.

Maybe I'm wrong, because people seem to call it one of the great Firesign Theatre albums. I reccomend you buy the first four albums and listen in chronological order, as the albums even cleverly sound as if they fade in and out of eachother (more proof of Firesign's brilliance.)

This would be good as a 6th or 7th purchase as I find it's definatley not their best, but try it out anyway, because this is simply my opinion.

The movie is them lip-synching (unsucessfully for the most part) to the album. Nino's commentary on holes, Cox's conclusion to side one, and the two fore fathers in the middle of a trip are not included in the film. (We really needed to see the snake river and endless sea.) The only new bit was about 3 seconds of Gary hitching up Cox's trailor. Dis-a-ponit-ing. However, the waiting room style of the music of the end credits music is irresistable.

Clay Walker is an eminently likeable country singer who appears to have sold 6 million records largely on his likability. Not that he is without talent. He may look like a standard-issue "hat" act, but his voice is a cut above. With new producer Doug Johnson he has set out to place his voice front and center, a good idea with mixed results. On cuts like the rocker "Cold Hearted" and the R&B-style ballad "This Time Love," Walker cuts his considerable pipes loose in a way rarely heard in commercial country fare. Sadly, too much of the other material gives him little to do with this marvelous instrument, and the sound occasionally masks the subtle vocal twists at which Walker is so adept. Live, Laugh, Love isn't overproduced--steel guitars have replaced many of the pop keyboards present in his previous work and the record has an authentically loose and relaxed feel--but there are too many forced hooks and forgettable melodies. --Michael Ross

Live, Laugh, Love.......2006-07-19

I like this cd. I love the song Live, Laugh, Love. It is a upbeat and fun song. It is the main reason I brought this cd.

His best CD to date!.......2001-11-08

While I've been a fan of Clay and his music from the first CD, Live, Laugh, Love presents a man who is obviously in absolute control of his voice and who he is as an artist.

While the song selection is even better than before, Clay takes his voice into territory that few male country artists even dare think about. Most importantly, it's not just for show. He uses his power when it fits the song. For example check out the way he keeps building "If A Man Ain't Thinking ('Bout His Woman)" and "Once In A Lifetime Love". Just when we think he can't take his vocal performance any higher, he effortlessly proves us wrong. And, in case you may be thinking this is "studio magic", we've heard him live. Have you ever heard an artist who is even better live? Clay hits his recent hits note for note and turns in even more powerful performances on his old standards.

Clay also demonstrates his knack for choosing love songs with a twist like "She's Always Right", "Lose Some Sleep Tonight" and "Woman Thing". And of course he's still able to teach a life's lesson with the heartfelt, "The Chain of Love." Overall, there is not a bad or marginal song on this CD. That's why we have renamed it "Greatest Hits 2"

He did it again!.......2000-10-13

As a country music fan, I started listening to Clay when I started listening to country in 1993. Each album tops the last. He's got a traditional sound with a great pop twist. His love songs are beautifully written, as well as performed. The more I listened to his music, the more I loved it. You can hear the heart and soul he puts into every song. He's the complete package. He loves performing, he's a devoted husband and father, and he is genuine. All of which makes him sexy. I spoke with the DJ in charge of events at the biggest country station in the mid-atlantic. He said out of all the music artists he spoke with and met, Clay was the easiet to talk to. He loves what he does, and it shows. If you love music with heart, Clay is definitely the way to go!

Great songs from a great artist!.......2000-10-06

If you love classic country like Alan Jackson and George Jones you will love this cd. The tracks are filled with traditional themes with a little modern flair.

Clay Walker is a great country singer and performer.

Clay Walker's Live, Laugh, Love.......2000-09-15

The one song "The Chain of Love" is worth buying the whole album. One reviewer describes it as amazing, and I agree. It is the most remarkable song about a man who is not selfish and helps people (whether poor or wealthy) in need, a man named Joe. It is very applicable to the modern world of car breakdowns, and yet it has an eternal truth from Biblical times whose parallel is amazing. I'd vote for Joe in the coming election, whether he's losing or winning in popularity, and I think that the chain of love will win in the only judgement that really counts.

Comedy is a very serious business, and the easy flow of a smooth performance belies the deep digging that goes into the art of creating it. That's the basic message underlying the insights collected on this installment of the Laugh.com on Comedy series. Former comic-turned-motivational-speaker Larry Wilde captured them from America's king of the postmodern standup comedy scene himself, Jerry Seinfeld, early during the latter's meteoric ascent. The actual dates of the interviews aren't given, though the material was recorded on fuzzy analogue tape, and Seinfeld is still clearly in touch with the raw experience of the club circuit. He reveals a strikingly upfront and straightforward demeanor, and his comments come across surprisingly unfiltered by the brand of ironic observation Seinfeld turned into a weekly ritual through his mega-hit TV series. Goaded on by Wilde's sometimes humdrum patter of questions, Seinfeld describes his own evolution as a comic, the role of quasi-musical elements such as pacing and rhythm in a performance, and many points of technique that comic wannabes will find of interest (it takes him at least half a year to hone a routine into a finished project, he observes). Seinfeld closely links successful humor with logical discipline--needed to trick your audience into believing in the setup--and declares that "laughs contain thought." Not given to looking at a psychological angle for what motivates great comics, he does ultimately define the comic's project as "an exploration into the self" that requires a hyper-detailed awareness. More actual examples would lighten the discussion (there's almost nothing funny here), but all you meta-types will have a blast. --Sarah Chin

Customer Reviews:

Not for everybody.......2005-08-31

This album is really meant for comedians or possible comedy writers. It's not meant to be funny, but rather offer insight into Seinfeld's work. Particularly interesting is his discourse on preparing for The Tonight Show and on comedy timing.

A must for anybody involved in the comedy business.

Very insightful for the aspiring comedian ..........2003-11-13

Though this is not his stand-up, it was a very helpful tool for me as a starting out comedian. I suggest this CD, and the movie Comedian to get a very real insight into the life of a comedian.

Annoying Interviewer.......2002-08-16

The interviewer is very annoying. At times he interrupted Jerry's answers, finished Jerry's sentences and blabbed on about his own ideas.

Jerry Seinfeld On Comedy.......2002-04-30

Please be aware! This is not a stand up routine of Jerry Seinfeld. This is a copy of an interview done with him. Simply a question and answer interview. If that is what you want, than get it. If you are looking to laugh a lot, don't.

Great insight, but this is an interview, not comedy.......2002-01-12

A wonderful look into the wit of Jerry Seinfeld. If you have an interest in standup, this CD is a special treat as he talks about how he prepared for his first Tonight Show appearance, what classes he might recommend for those interested in comedy, and running from club to club in New York constantly honing his set...for 18 months, completely unaware of what he was really getting himself ready for. If you're looking for material more like the Seinfeld TV show (which this is definitely not), check out Seinfeld's "I'm Telling You For the Last Time" CD.

My tongue is asleep; and my teeth itch........2003-01-01

This is my favorite comedy album of all time. My parents owned it, and my sister and I listened to it about a hundred times. There are a ton of funny little catch phrases that we still laugh about: "Care for a pillow?" might not sound funny to you, but after listening to this album it will be!

"This is your Captain speaking, we will be traveling non-stop to, uh, ... uh................. ...Los Angeles"

Great stuff, and it is wonderful to have it available on CD -- I haven't had a record player in years, and it was fantastic to be able to hear this masterpiece once again. It was just as good as I remembered it!

His piece on "The Morning After The Night Before" is an all-time classic that just brings me to tears of laughter. "In the shape I was in it was lucky the only thing I threw through the window was the cat... hah haha... oh really, who?"
