Beatle Brunch Remembers
Lenny Bruce
A famous comedian once said, “Lenny Bruce’s legacy is freedom of speech and telling it as it is, getting your life and putting it out on the table, telling everyone about it.”

“I rode with him in a taxi once, only for a mile and a half. Seemed like it took a couple of months” – Bob Dylan

“Lenny Bruce died from an overdose of police” – Phil Spector

Lenny Bruce is one of the celebrities immortalized on the cover of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and when we received a call from Lenny’s daughter, Kitty, to help promote her project, "Lenny’s House", we thought … how neat is this?

Lenny Bruce was the mentor of many comics and celebrities who began their entertainment career during the 50s and 60s. He was extremely controversial for his time (and who wasn’t during the 60s?). It wasn’t until many years later when George Carlin was able to publicize similar “LB material.” He was the only person ever granted a posthumous pardon in New York state's history. Governor Pataki claimed his act was "a declaration of New York's commitment to upholding the First Amendment."

So we tip our hat to Kitty Bruce and hope a few Brunchers might bid on a few items up for auction October 13, 2009. We know Yoko donated something special of John’s. And please, Let It Be known that any one appearing on any of our favorite Beatles albums is a friend of ours.
