Now Christian Finnegan is genuinely
funny and definitely different. So why, I
ask myself, does he have to resort to
four letter words? Is it the shock effect
like Lennie Bruce or what? When is
someone going to tell these new guys
that stars and i mean genuine star
funny men like Milton Berle, Sid Cesar,
Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall etc. may
have been off color but they didn't
need to f*** this or where the f*** is
that. However, if you can get past that,
you may want to check his DVD here.
As I say, Christian is funny. I am not
sure what the cover design's relevance
is because it is reminiscent of the
Soviet poster for workers unite.

Now the first time I saw Ron was in the
Blue Collar Comedy movie and I fell
about laughing. Now, Ron is lot more
squeaky clean with the Blue Collar
Comedy guys that on his solo work. I
have an aversion to four letter words
from comedians but somehow with Ron
it seems as natural as can be. So why
do I give Ron a thumbs up instead a
two fingers up? The answer is that he
is downright funny. Not all time but at
least most of it. Which as any funny
man will tell you that's not bad odds.
Sure, Ron isn't exactly a role model but
then nor was Lennie Bruce, Richard
Pryor or Cheech and Chong but then
they didn't aspire to be.

Once again Cledus proves that you
can be funny without being crude. Yes,
I agree with him, he should have an
HBO special or even a GAC special.
This is possibly the best CD that CTJ
has released in a while. He was once a
fat boy who was almost a novelty. Now
he is slimmer, trimmer and can be
viewed as a keen and relevant
observer. The CD has not a bad cut in
sight but my favorite is without doubt
"Merger On Music Row." It should be
released as a single assuming there is
a label to release it on! Although the
addition of Ashton Shepherd, Brooks &
Dunn, Jamie Johnson, Terry Eldridge,
Colt Ford and Daryle Singletary was
intended to give the album "vocal
correctness," it isn't necessary
because as a sad indictment of current
vocal requirements, Cledus sounds
pretty good anyway. Love it, Barry.
Good to have you back.
