Yeah, that's a good point. I think... pardon me if this is a stretch, but did you ever hear that saying about how rock n' roll was for angry young men? Not rich old men. It's one of the reasons why all the rebellious rock bands did their most iconic work when they were young, and not yet rich and famous. When you're filthy rich, famous and can have just about everything you want, it's maybe a bit harder to write sincere anthems about rebellion and sticking it to the man.

I think that's one of the things wealth does to you, and that maybe comedy comes from a similar place. When Dave wasn't rich, famous and venerated by huge audiences and his peers, he could be undiplomatic about some issues. It won him fame, because he did it in a way that made people laugh. He was an outsider. But when you're famous and everyone loves you and you're a millionaire, it's... kinda hard to maintain that outsider status. The energy that went into rebellion slowly morphs into just looking and sounding like an entitled asshole who doesn't understand he's punching down.

Shower thoughts, really.

Oh yeah, like religion is for the desperate, and the rich use it to abuse people.

DA

Both of you have made very good points!

These are great points...but I guess I don't understand how being rich makes you lose the critical skills to see you're punching down. Maybe it's the weed like nonny up above mentioned.
