I started listening to "Crash and Burn" today and I've been enjoying it so far. Between the audio book and going back to watch Youtube videos of the Joe Buck incident and the Conan O'Brien blackout appearance, they've reminded me of how funny Artie is, even when he's completely hosed up. One part that made me roll my eyes was when he was angry about the Rolling Stone article. He admitted he overslept, was on drugs, and was purposely loving with the people doing the article to piss them off. I never read it. Was it really an unfair hatchet job of him as he was saying?

OG KUSH BLUNTS posted:I dunno, paying a hooker to be your tour guide was pretty funny. Well, he didn't say he wasn't funny. He is just an incredible cry baby drug addict rear end in a top hat who thinks money lets him treat people like poo poo. Teddy messed up, he might have been terrible, but then again Artie himself has said he ran through like 30 assistants and I wouldn't trust him to tell the truth about any story. He serves up comedy truth only, whatever works for the joke. I doubt any of Artie's drug fueled story telling is anything close to reality, but he is holding the paintbrush and he can tell it anyway he likes. He got really nasty about Sarah too in that story. It is a drat good story so far.

It was the fairest, most flattering hatchet job possible. Which is to say no, it wasn't a "hatchet job"; Artie just got all whiny that anything he did might be described in a negative light.

Watch David Wants to Fly, some of your money went to a guy in a pope hat who is the literal king of America. I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. There was no pseudoscience babble or prayers to Hindu gods or anything like that at the sessions I attended. There was nothing religious about it at all. I'm not sure who is misinformed.

I regretfully spent the money on it, because I wanted to learn straight from the source as opposed to someone else and I had money to burn at the time. The technique is useful and has definitely helped me, but there is a lot of shady cult stuff behind on it. Beware of **anything** that tries to sell you "advanced" courses as soon as you finish the first course. The ceremony that I went under was definitely a religious one and they're always trying to contact me about group meetings, updating my mantra, advanced courses, vibration and sound therapy and meditation vacations at their "centers". If you want to learn about meditation, look up YouTube videos (such as the ones posted in here), or go to a Buddhist temple. Spending a bunch of money on TM isn't going to "fix" you, much like anything else that promises to "fix" you.

This is standard junkie behavior, in my experience -- it's a weird kind of defensiveness that they to use as moral high ground to point the finger at their critics. Artie being hosed up is one thing, but this reporter pointing out how hosed up he was makes him an rear end in a top hat and how dare he do that to Artie? I'm up to Chapter 7 and Artie seems incredibly needy. In this book he leans on his mom, sister and girlfriends to a ridiculous extent. His deep self-loathing is kind of painful to hear about but it's also darkly fascinating. Poor guy probably needed treatment for depression since his dad died but he never got it. No wonder he's such a mess now.

It's what he said in the book and others have said. Good comedians are not happy people. Comics are hosed up people for the most part, only a few, and usually only after they have great success are ever "well". It's why Howard isn't as funny anymore, he is happy. He has a nice wife, he likes cats, he has ipods and baby sitter porn. Nothing is sticking in his craw to make him angry. He doesn't need to fight with local DJs, he sees the point everyone is trying to make and agrees with them most of the time because he has no reason to fight with them. He is happy and content. Artie, is a snarling beast, eating and injecting everything he can before this poo poo world tosses his corpse aside. Life is just a series of dumb, painful poo poo and he can cry at it, or laugh at it. Maybe he needs a good woman with a lot of cats to calm him down and give him peace. But if he didn't try to be funny, the only thing left to his life, his stories and his trials would be a sad story.

I always thought people being more offended over someone saying "Nigga" and opposed to "friend of the family" was stupid, the only reason most black people say "nigga" is because of their accents.

You can tell that's a book from the '90s because it does a big thing at the end about "if this is who you are that's cool" right after spending its time bashing the poo poo out of you for being weird, abnormal, and a genetic mutation. If that was written before the '90s it'd just call you a human being and tell you that you're a freak who should die. I mean it's  to think that is where society was at some point in our own lifetime. If any celebrity wrote something like that now they'd essentially be blacklisted from mainstream society and treated as persona non grata for the rest of their lives.

Was Lisa Ann that woman JD would text stuff like, "I fixed the garbage disposal, honey" or "What do you want me pick up on the way home from work" to? Because I had no idea how fat and ugly he'd gotten. Picturing him playing house via text with that pornstar is just weird and creepy. Not like it wasn't before, but there's no way she will ever even hang out with him so it's just extra sad and creepy knowing what he looks like.

Even for the time from which that was written, that is loving insane. And, Howard had been in "the biz" for awhile at that point and was exposed to way more gay people than most. Ponderous.

Peter North posted:You forgot this! This was the best part. I miss the 90s. That's incredibly lovely to us now, but to be fair that was a common belief in the '90s. A lot of people back then really believed there was no biological basis for homosexuality and that it was caused by some kind of bad wiring in people's heads. People who were somewhat open-minded would argue that if that was purely in your head, then it should be tolerated, as long as it was done in private. They viewed it as being like BDSM: If it made them happy, was consensual for everyone involved and wasn't hurting anyone (unwillingly), then what they did in their own bedrooms was their own business. That always seemed to be where Howard was coming from, in spite of his obvious disgust with it. I wonder if he still believes what he said in that link and just doesn't say so, or if his beliefs have actually changed with the times.

Again, it wouldn't be so dickish if he didn't basically say "I love gays! Be gay! But if you want, here's how to cure your freakish disorder!"

Also, he said he'd never be gay because why would he want to stick his dick in a garbage can. Then he would go on about trying to get anal sex from his first wife.
