Editorial Reviews:
Album Description Originally an LP, compiled from live Lenny Bruce monologues recorded between 1958 and 1963, the album is now being reissued on enhanced CD with John Magnuson's cartoon of the title track as a special bonus. Nearly forty years after Lenny Bruce's death, one might prefer to assume that the first-time CD release of eight early routines and the transfer of Magnuson's magnificent animation to enhanced CD would be but curiosities in a progressive and enlightened culture, entertaining footnotes to one comic's career. "Thank You Masked Man" arrives in an era gripped by such grim realities as the Patriot Act and the ousting of a brutish and outlandish talk-show host by a media network with close ties to a sitting President of the United States.
