5.0 out of 5 stars Brother Dave...still crazy after all these years., October 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Very Best of Brother (Audio CD)

Brother Dave was politically incorrect before politically incorrect was cool. This is not for the bleeding-heart victim crowd. So, if you're not a prissy, liberal, pseudo intellect who feigns "PC Outrage" at all humor directed at any group except rednecks, you will love Brother Dave. And, he does a redneck better than any person on the planet - check out the cop on the Motorcycle story. By the way, if you are a soldier of PCism, you can vent every ounce of self-righteous indignation and moral outrage you have by listening to Brother Dave - and feel good about yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Fantastic!, April 5, 2000

This review is from: Very Best of Brother (Audio CD)

Having grown up listening to and enjoying Brother Dave's LPs, I was thrilled to find this CD and to relive those wonderful words of his. His humor is still as fresh and crisp now as it was more than 30 years ago. It isn't for the PC crowd, but they don't matter anyhow. Brother Dave once said that liberals are people educated beyond their capacity, and that view is still valid today.

While people tend to complain that "Brother" Dave was racist, they should also note that he was an equal opportunity offender, mocking every one from evangelists to politicians to motorcyle gang members to small town policitians--name a stereotype and you will find Gardner casting an aspersion upon it. At the same time, it is also perfectly true that Gardner was very much of his place and time, and in this (hopefully) more enlightened, more tolerant age it is sometimes difficult to find genuine humor in his work. Perhaps his recordings are best regarded as a time capsule, something by which we measure how far we have come over the past thirty years. But say what you like: I STILL love the motorcycle story!
