Re: Joe Rogan - Shiny Happy Jihad
One of my hobbies is to listen to a bunch of Stand-Up Comedy CDs on Rhapsody. I just heard "Shiny Happy Jihad" and I think it's great. He has great delivery, and a lot of his material is very well thought out and genuinely gut-bustingly funny. I also enjoy the fact that he is very down to earth and not so much concerned with forcing his own political agenda on his audience.
That's where guys like David Cross fall slightly short for me. I know he's trying to get a message across, but after a certain point, the political stuff is really annoying and whiny to listen to. With less of the "I hate Bush" thing I think he could truly live forever.
That being said, I was pleasantly surprised at Rogan's new CD, and it is currently my favorite Stand-Up performance to listen to. When I find a Stand Up CD I really like, I usually listen to it over and over again, is that weird? Whatever, it's good. I highly recommend it, for whatever that's worth.
