Lenny Bruce overdose death pic picture photo free speech freedom Hustler obscenity trial

15 years ago Lenny Bruce staged a fight for freedom of speech. And it killed him to lose it.
It’s obscene to think that the fight for free speech is still going on today.

Hustler, avril 1979.

Lenny Bruce, arrĂȘtĂ© et poursuivi Ă  de nombreuses reprises pour obscĂ©nitĂ©, Ă©tait retrouvĂ© mort il y a aujourd’hui exactement 45 ans, aprĂšs une surdose d’hĂ©roĂŻne. La photo ci-dessus, parue dans Hustler alors que son prĂ©sident, Larry Flynt, Ă©tait lui-mĂȘme aux prises avec des accusations pour obscĂ©nitĂ©, pourrait avoir Ă©tĂ© mise en scĂšne par les autoritĂ©s aprĂšs la dĂ©couverte de son cadavre.

One last four-letter word for Lenny: DEAD. At forty. That’s obscene. —Dick Schaap, Playboy
Lenny Bruce died from an overdose of police. —Phil Spector

If the word motherfucker stimulates you sexually you’re in a lot of trouble.
—Lenny Bruce (1925-1966)

So long, and thanks for all the bananafish

L’auteur amĂ©ricain J.D. Salinger est mort ce mercredi Ă  l’Ăąge de 91 ans. L’Ă©crivain vivait reclus et n’avait pas Ă©tĂ© vu en public depuis plusieurs dĂ©cennies. Il n’a rien publiĂ© au cours des 45 derniĂšres annĂ©es de sa vie. Voici un article publiĂ© en 2001 pour le 50e anniversaire de son Ɠuvre la plus cĂ©lĂšbre, The Catcher in the Rye.

The Catcher Today

It was 50 years ago that J.D. Salinger first published Catcher in the Rye and ever since, people have been calling the book’s narrator, Holden Caulfield, their hero. Reading about Holden’s three-day « madman » odyssey in New York City has changed people’s lives. (…) And so, on the 50th anniversary of Catcher‘s publication, I came to New York to find out just how timeless Catcher in the Rye really is.
My pilgrimage begins where Holden Caulfield’s New York City odyssey did: Penn Station.
