I Will Not Be Silenced

Over the last couple of days I have gotten calls from some members of my family and various friends questioning the content of my posts. They wonder how wise it is for me to be so forthcoming about certain aspects of my life and my dealings with others. Do they have a point? Maybe, but I think the bigger question is .....What the hell are they afraid of?

I gave their opinions a lot of thought. Then I completely disregarded them. Then I reconsidered. Fine ...I'll try to hide other people's identities better. I asked my wife "Wife" what she thought . Deb...I mean "Wife" said. "I don't care what you say about me. As long as you can vent your feelings there, I don't have to hear them." How supportive.

My stand-up has always dealt with real life. Any potential radio I do will be the same. People who know me better buckle up. I'll keep your names and identifying birthmarks out of my stories, but the events must be told. Did Edward R. Murrow bow to McCarthy? Did Lenny Bruce give in to the cops? Did Chico ever listen to the Man? NO! You can't keep me quiet. Unless of course you have a lawyer or a lot of cash. Later...Brian
