Hatchet's buried in Godwin v. Rose
In the following post, we mistakenly identified Mr. Godwin as a “song parodist.” As the bulk of his output most recently has been original material, we should have identified him as a “musical satirist.” We apoligize for the error.
On May 5, we posted about a comedy fan, a fellow by the name of Romeo Rose, who created a vicious website attacking song parodist and frequent Bob & Tom guest Pat Godwin (“Should we call it CyberHeckling?”). During a recent performance, Godwin mocked Rose from stage, getting much comedy mileage out Rose’s nonconformist attire.
Well, all is fine now between the two after Godwin publicly apologized on B & T. On May 10, Rose, a blues guitarist, poet and songwriter who fancies opulent threads, dropped a comment on our posting stating that the feud is history and that he has since taken down the attack site.

Traci Skene Kindle Single hilariously skewers traditional social and sexual mores as well as modern feminism. "This book is a prime example of quality over quantity."
"This book made me laugh out loud! ”

Too bad…That was some pretty funny stuff. I don’t personally talk to or about the crowd very often because to me, it’s cheap and easy, but even I would have had to break down and crack on that fucking idiot. Then again, what the hell do I know?Until some other time…
Jeff:Thanks for the comments.Talking to the crowd is “cheap and easy?” Being funny is not easy. Going into the crowd to get laughs is not easy. Nor is it cheap. It is merely one more way of getting laughs.Generalizations like that are beneath you. That you prefaced it with the magic phrase “to me” doesn’t mean that it’s any less of a gross generalization. It’s simply not true.This comment isn’t met to set off a debate. There is no debating it.Witnessing the comic talking to or about the crowd, when it’s done with care and with wit, is quite often the highlight of an audience member’s night.We would no sooner dismiss the practice out of hand than we would dismiss, say, doing one-liners or only telling stories or showing slides or bringing a dog onstage or playing the conga drums or dressing up like a gas station attendant or a trucker. If we close ourselves off to a method, that’s fine. To pontificate as you have and seek to discourage someone else from trying a method is… unnecessary, to say the least.
