More From Beth Ditto

Cliche refers to words, commonplace to ideas. cliche describes the form or the letter, commonplace the substance or spirit. to confuse them is to confuse the thought with the expression of the thought. the cliche is immediately perceivable; the commonplace very often escapes notice if decked out in original dress. there are few examples, in any literature, of new ideas expressed in original form. the most critical mind must often be content with one or the other of these pleasures, only too happy when it is not deprived of both at once, which is not too rarely the case.

Fat is a barrier, a bellicose statement to others that, to some, justifies hostility in kind. the world says to the fat person, "your fatness is an affront to me, so we have the right to treat you as offensively as you appear." fat is not merely viewed as another type of tissue, but as a diagnostic sign, a personal statement, and a measure of personality. too little fat and we see you as being antisocial, fearful and sexless. too much fat and we see you as slothful, stupid, and sexually hung up.

I'm not offended. lenny bruce taught me that everything's funny. you can make everything funny. i don't think that assassinations are funny, i don't think you can make fun of isis, but almost everything is funny. and if we can't laugh at ourselves, who can we laugh at? so i don't mind ethnic humor. i like ethnic humor. i like dialect jokes. laughter is a very subjective thing. if it's funny to you it's funny. and a lot of things are funny to me.
Laughter Fun Thinking
The problem is that we live in an uptight country. why don't we just laugh at ourselves? we are funny. gays are funny. straights are funny. women are funny. men are funny. we are all funny, and we all do funny things. let's laugh about it.

It's always been impressive to me when someone can really do what they want onstage. the audience has confidence in the performer and the performer has confidence in the crowd.
