Nevertheless, getting attacked is what comedians can expect moving forward.  It's the next logical step from being assaulted on social media for hurting someone's feelings with their comedy.  I think the only popular comedians from the past that might be able to navigate these times would be George Carlin, Steve Martin, Richard Pryor and maybe Lenny Bruce; tho he wouldn't have the same shock value today.  Oh, and Sam Kinison, cause he wouldn't give a [BLEEP], he would just buzzsaw thru all the sociopolitical crap and just burn it down.  Wish he was still here to make it happen.  It would be a thing of beauty.

So much truth here. 

Sam Kinison was the greatest comedian to ever walk the planet, imo. I miss that guy. When I was in high school, me and a bunch of people would go out to the back 40 of my friend's farm on friday nights and start a bonfire. We'd get drunk and listen to Have You Seen Me lately on a boombox. That was good times.
