I loved the Albert Goldman book about Lenny Bruce. it was my bible when I set out as a performer - there was this wonderful phrase in it, 'the bravery of the ordinary showbusiness footsoldier' - i always treasured it, and I always figured the folkscene was full of guys dodging the column. Of course they were just brighter than me, but by not playing the toilets - I think maybe, their music was somehow always a missing vital constituent.
