The time of the Carter presidency was like a suicidal nightmare for the U.S. Being able to laugh at Steve's 'happy feet' and arrows through the head and 'wild and crazy guy' probably averted a national implosion.

plus that album was a different direction than most of his predecessors. his roomates and his friends used a more colorful language and talked about edgier issues and continued to push the envelope while steve was the everyman. he touched every household by connecting with everybody b/c he talked about issues and occurences and irony's and problems that happen to all of us. his stand-up was truly original. its why i read his books.
