What an unmissable sign-off line

David Cross wrote an open letter to Larry at the height of his career. It’s too long for Lemmy to paste it in, but here’s a link to it.

What a fantastic read, I’m sitting here cackling reading it
but first let me say this; you are very mistaken if you think that I don’t know your audience.
Hell, I could’ve been heckled by the parents of some of the very people that come see you now. I grew up in Roswell, Georgia (near the Funny Bone and not far from The Punch Line). The very first time I went on stage was at The Punch Line in Sandy Springs in 1982 when I was 17. I cut my teeth in the south and my first road gigs ever were in Augusta, Charleston, Baton Rouge, and Louisville. I remember them very well, specifically because of the audience. I remember thinking (occasionally, not all the time) “what a bunch of dumb redneck, easily entertained, ignorant motherfuckers. I can’t believe the stupid shit they think is funny.” So, yes, I do know your audience, and they suck.
