I've got his Delirious and Raw albums (on MP3), and they're really funny, as old as they are. I agree with your observation as to how back then his gay jokes were much more widely accepted than they are today... at least that's how it seems. If you're looking for other really funny comedians from the 80s, check out Sam Kinison (RIP). He's got some outrageous comedy, which in my opinion, blows Eddie Murphy away. Regards, Alvaro

              Sigh... the '80s... what a totally shite decade to grow up in (I was born in 1971). The music sucked, the clothes sucked, the attitude sucked ... in fact, I can't think of much to redeem the entire decade (The Smiths and New Order mebbe). So depressing. I recently ended up in a local nightclub and unfortunately it was 80s night ... the horror ... I couldn't take it for long - I mean, "Hey Mickey your so fine" just doesn't make me want to shake my tush. :-D :-D :-D Perhaps I should start lying about my age ... my lucky bastard brother was born in '63, so had his formative teenage years during the heady punk era. Not fair!

                      BLAME ? The 80's RULED. 80's music especially blows the garbage they have today out of the water. Anyone can wear baggy pants, detune their guitar and yell into a microphone.

I just cringe when I see any video footage of the 80s. It sticks out like a sore thumb, the clothes, the hair, the walk.
