Thanks, also, for calling me “occasionally smarmy” after being called ‘perpetually smarmy’ by family, friends & co-workers for years!! But, seriously, folks, I (obviously) like to crack wise & I can laugh at myself. However, I do have one serious point: which is that my show is meant to be a self-deprecating retrospective (like, my own personal one-man ‘Mortified’), rather than an attempt at “civics lessons”. Some sections in particular are supposed to reveal my “cringe-worthy” teenage perspective & the show in general (though possibly containing ‘teachable moments’) is not intended to be instructional. I want to believe that art can change the world; but, I am merely a “born entertainer” (thanks for that compliment, too, by the way) & I only wish that I could educate people on a subject that has troubled humanity for centuries in an hour-long show. Hope springs eternal, though!! Anyway, thanks again for coming & laughing at my jokes & most of all for suggesting that other folks do, too! Thanks a LOT for the Recommended status!
