Solo Members,

What a devil I am. I believe my contempt for B.Branden (and this MSK caricature) is known by now--and shared. I have been to the O-Lying site (as it's lovingly called) and came across this post from B.Branden. Am I an ass for sharing it here for it's perverse entertainment value? She speaks of Lindsay and SOLO and...well, it explains itself.

Here it is:

LENNY BRUCE: A First Amendment Hero!

[re-written and edited]

(“Please don’t lock up these words”)

He was a man with a disquieting sense of humor every step of the way. He entertained America with a disturbing frankness. His words crossed the law and those in it. He became intolerable to people in power. Words were his catalyst to fame…and failure. He tore into the planks of conventional morality like a buzz-saw. His life became a hamstring of censorship, arrests, trials, persecutions, convictions and appeals. When it was over, not even the First Amendment saved him. He died convicted—a comedian condemned for his words. His name was Lenny Bruce. He was a legendary comic, social satirist, free-speech crusader and martyr to the uptight social and moral repressions of the Age of Conformity.
