I looked around for this title for a while, then one day it hit me, LOOK ONLINE. What do you know, Amazon.com had it! Great! Now I could listen to the wisdom that would spout out of the Belz's mouth when ever I wanted to.

One problem, the audio quality left much to be desired. The Belz's audio would fluctuate. Sometimes he was loud and other times he was soft. I mean you could still hear everything, but it was not the high quality one hopes for.

The humor itself was top notch. I swear that he does the best impression of Bob Dylan that I have ever heard.

If you have read his book on conspiracies and then listen to this album you would find where he got a lot of his material for the book.

The Belz rules! I am not here to dispute that, but this CD is not the best way to represent the Belz!

Richard Belzer's comedy cd, Another Lone Nut, is very funny. Belzer is fascinated in the assassination of JFK, UFOs, and other government conspiracies. This disc is chock-full of them. Richard Belzer is Jewish and makes fun of Jews. On this disc he takes cracks at Elvis, Bob Dylan, Mr. T, Hulk Hogan, Bill Clinton's [...], Gerald Ford, and his own grandfather. This cd is recommended for casual or diehard fans of the Belz, or a comedy lover.

I am obsessed with Richard Belzer, so naturally I LOVE this cd. If you are a fan of his comedy, or him, I highly recommend this to you. :)

This is a weird album. I consider the mix of reality audio clips with comedy one of the album's experimental high points. Other high points include Belzer's excellent impersonations and musical talents. Paul Shaffer was an unwelcome guest for me. I find his vaudeville caricatures irritating. The greatest distraction, however, is the poor audio quality. I imagine the routine(s) would have been funnier with better editing and a re-mastering of the material. I feel bad giving Belzer a mediocre score, but sound quality matters for all audio media. Listen close, and this is funnier than most comics performing today.

I hadn't heard Richard Belzer before -- I have a cassette
version of this -- a very funny man. I have heard half ot it, and would recommend it highly based on that.
