I've decided to feature some of what I think are great stand-up comedy specials here for the next few I-don't-know-how-many days. This one, which was brought to my attention by my pal Paul Harris, is a recent one by Dana Gould. All or most of the specials I'll feature have some moments that might offend the easily-offended…though I question the value system of anyone who's offended by a comedy routine and not by what's happening in Washington, D.C. these days.
I like the way Dana Gould thinks and I like that in this special, he seems to be wearing the same shoes I wear. My footwear of choice is the New Balance 587, a long-discontinued model. When they stopped making them, I hurriedly bought up every pair I could find and I think I now have about eight never-worn pairs in my closet along with the one on my feet. If Mr. Gould is wearing New Balance 587s as he appears to be, he only managed to get them because he doesn't wear the same size I do. I was real thorough…
