Cranky old man

I introduced Monty Python to my kids when they were in high school, early college years. Now in their 30’s, they were astonished to learn just how old John Cleese really is.
None of their skits would pass the social justice pearl clutchers these days. They were funny because they challenged the “polite” and puritanical society of the late 60’s but managed to be aired anyway. Now, they would be canceled.

“Now, they would be canceled...”

NOT on Chris Plante’s radio show 9-12 weekdays using the free iHeart app.

“Let’s not argue over ‘who murdered who’”.

“What have the Romans ever done for us?”

What was merely “grinnable” years ago has sadly become Reality.
