Holy shit.

I'm watching Carlin's 1992 special, Jammin' in New York. It's like he's alive and did the special this year. Remarkable.

Watched Chappelle's new specials. The first had some funny stuff and felt like a legitimate concert film. The second is astounding. It's just him talking to 50 people about shit going on that week, that day, and it's funny. And fucking ballsy. He says shit no other famous people would. He talked about Louis CK and it was heartfelt and brave and, man, I just admire his skill. He's peerless.
