Lenny and Diceman

Re “The Diceman Taps Into a Primal Howl” by Lawrence Christon, Aug. 20:
To name some of Andrew Dice Clay’s antecedents and omit Lenny Bruce, the vulgarian’s vulgarian, is an egregious oversight. This is the guy whose “sacrifices” made the entertainment world safe for (to use Christon’s words) the “vile, crude, misogynistic, racist, homophobic,” etc.
Had Bruce lived, he’d be right there with Clay, stamping around in his own stercoraceous metier, giving him a downhill run for the money.
