My P.E. teacher was named Mr. Gallagher. And I thought, until today, that HE was an exemplar of a “brown circle”.
Hey, that performer Gallagher? Yeah, that Gallagher? You’ve got to read this article.
According to the performer, he invented the mosh pit. Also, there weren’t any amusement park “splash rides” before he started performing thirty years ago. Performers used to be able to be able to do a two- to three-hour show without a water bottle onstage, but now it’s standard for a performer to have one. “How is that funny?” he asks.
People don’t know how to behave in public any more (reminder: Gallagher). And Bill Clinton “ruined oral sex”. And “Barbara Walters [is] the kind of person you would [want to] have as an anchorperson,” but she didn’t get the job that went to Couric because Walters “doesn’t speak good”.
Comedians need meaning in their acts (yes, seriously, that Gallagher.) Prop comedy has faded from popularity because comedy now has “an emphasis on the mediocre”.
He’s “pissed” because he “knows he is an “excellent performer”, yet he’s “been excluded from a lot of show business in America”. But the fact that he’s “still in business 30 years later proves that [his] is the proper way to think about things.” And he’s happy to express his thoughts because he’s “really not ruining a career that’s not really happening.”
And oh fuck my gun is jammed! And there are all these salmon left in the barrel! Well, minnows. One minnow. Floating belly up.
