NOT WORTH CONSUMING
Ever had a vacation that started off
really well and then all heck broke loose- ruining everything? You lose your
tickets home, wallet gets stolen, and Grandpa dies on the way to the Little
Miss Sunshine Pageant (Yeah- I just spoiled!) Those vacations suck.
Know what sucks even more, have such
a vacation happen at a place you’ve visited time and time again and never had a
problem before- only now you swear never to return.
Well, that’s how I feel about Dennis
Miller. On SNL, he was the anti-establishment leader for my generation Okay-
technically, I was too young, but I watched SNL when he did Weekend Update and
loved it- and yes, I saw it new, NOT RERUN!!!
The first half of this book is
classic Miller, but then something happened mid-way somewhere around the Lewinsky
scandal. The smart alec that you father couldn’t stand suddenly was you dad!
And it doesn’t work. Miller midway this book becomes the establishment!!!
And I know you’re thinking B-S!!!!
But it’s true. Nowadays, you can find Dennis Miller yukking in up with Bill
O’Reilly- and what’s worse, Miller’s now being the Ed McMahon to Bill’s Carnac
The Magnificent. Hey- I can throw in obscure references with the best of ‘em. I
learned from the Master!
It’s just sad when the guy you
expect to shove it to Congress starts taking it. Has Miller gotten old? To some
degree yes- it’s that point in his career when you start thinking “How much
older does Keith Richards have to get before he crumbles into dust- but man is
he a god on the guitar!”
Sorry Dennis- you’ve past your
prime.
That’s not just my opinion- and no,
I’m not wrong!
