We've been spared for the least 30 or so. Looks like our luck has run out.

Ever since I heard "Bill Cosby Talks to Kids About Drugs" my appreciation for the Cos's recordings has gone through the roof.

Apparently they are back, but most stores don't carry them. At least none near me.

Not so long ago, when I was a kid in the 1970s, it was through the comedy albums of Bill Cosby that I learned such vocabulary words as wino, the D.T.s, and the verb form to get a beating-none of which were much in use in my white suburban home.

Cosby is the exact opposite -- self-righteous and overly serious, two qualities that do not translate nicely into music.

@enriquez the water bottle: If you like that track, check out his collabo with Henry Rollins entitled "I Can't Get Behind That". GENIUS!
