My mom always said one of the regrets of her life is not going to hear him in NYC. From what I understand he used to do readings in the Village.

I have to put my two cents in here ... I’m 32 and can totally relate to the movie. Some aspects of the father are familiar, as are the hillbilly neighbors, getting a piece a of junk in the mail when you expected something great, and of course bullies.

I don’t know how, but I was actually offended when people were badmouthing it upthread. How can you not love this movie?

He had a two hour radio show broadcast live on WOR Saturday nights, from the Limelight, on Seventh Avenue. I don't know about other Village venues.

I've got recordings of a few of those, if you're interested.
