Another of my passions is comedy, especially (for now, as my areas of interests are fleeting, transient at best) midcentury revolutionaries Lenny Bruce, Dick Gregory, Mort Sahl, Woody Allen, and Nichols and May. Among their modern progeny, I'd include Marc Maron, Hari Kondabolu, Patton Oswalt, Maria Bamford, Mike Lawrence, Kyle Kinane, Sean O'Connor, Sean Patton, Todd Hanson, James Fritz, Beth Stelling, Louis CK, Dave Chappelle, and Lucas Molandes.</div><div><br /></div><div>That list is by no means exhaustive, but those are the comedians that I love. They're dark, personal, a bit depressed and misanthropic, intelligent, and most importantly of all, they're hilarious.</div><div><br /></div><div>Instead of creating a new blog to neglect (sorry I've been away for so long!), I figured I'd share my seemingly disparate passions with the readers of b.vikki vintage.</div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj34ZGVpLLibkgUvaB4d0NRsC3Kw_UP-HeYrtBgta4T1hpNvbpr6yjsf6Z9Ql0C60wF1Hj31vhu6wlZ0mLnvb3CexX3rUy6hI2Y8hiksCNx3nDFhfFoT-fMFJSkvv_Y8mzAcz8rWW77eRE/s1600/102_6596.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj34ZGVpLLibkgUvaB4d0NRsC3Kw_UP-HeYrtBgta4T1hpNvbpr6yjsf6Z9Ql0C60wF1Hj31vhu6wlZ0mLnvb3CexX3rUy6hI2Y8hiksCNx3nDFhfFoT-fMFJSkvv_Y8mzAcz8rWW77eRE/s200/102_6596.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511840309685441154" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px; " /></a><br />I've just begun to collect vintage comedy albums and my budding collection has grown - over the past month or so - to include the early work of Bill Cosby, Flip Wilson, W.C.

My tendency toward exhaustive research has permeated my love for comedy, as well. I'd highly recommend, to anyone even peripherally interested in comedy, reading Gerald Nachman's <i>Seriously Funny: The Rebel Comedians of the 1950s and 1960s</i>. Its attitudes toward modern comedy are a bit dismissive and blanketed, but Nachman's depth of passion and interest in what made the comedy of the 50s and 60s so controversial, irreverent, and pioneering are invaluable. </div><div><br /></div><div>To tie things back to the theme of b.vikki vintage, I found a handful of articles from Ebony and Jet magazine chronicling the evolution of black comedy in the 1950s and 1960s that piqued my interest; profiled alongside the comics I mentioned enjoying above are their black contemporaries, to whom, before finding these articles, I'd unfortunately been all but oblivious. The 1960 Ebony article below names Nipsey Russell, who I loved as the Tin Man in The Wiz, but of whose stand up career I'd never heard, as Mort Sahl's black equivalent.</div><div><br /></div><div>There are at least three dangling b.vikki vintage features I've been promising to resolve <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">(</span><a href="http://bvikkivintage.blogspot.com/search/label/weddings"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">weddings</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">, </span><a href="http://bvikkivintage.blogspot.com/search/label/voters"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">voters</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">, </span><a href="http://bvikkivintage.blogspot.com/search/label/menswear"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">menswear)</span></a>, but I've never been one to complete anything the way I'd planned it.

What I found most interesting was that the controversial work of Lenny Bruce and Mort Sahl is established as the standard to be achieved, this quote from Steve Allen being particularly telling: "Just imagine a Negro comic getting up on stage and saying some of the things that Lenny Bruce or Mort Sahl are getting away with." What no one could have known at the time this article was written was that Bruce would presently be destroyed by censorship and litigation for saying just such things; the heartbreaking story of his rise and fall is documented in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clW9yx2IG5c">Without Tears</a> (which, despite its name, made me cry like a baby!).</div><div><br /></div><div>If you're interested in hearing some midcentury comedy, here are a couple of bits I really enjoy:</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=tra.2674161">Bach to Bach - Nichols and May</a>: the completely improvised comedy sketch involving two pretentious lovers engaged in hilarious one-uppery.

I guess I talk a good game here on b.vikki vintage, but my tastes are basically as crude as anyone's.</div><div><br /></div><div>Going back a bit further, I'd also recommend checking out humorists Robert Benchley <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">(whose short essay "</span><a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=JCFn2j9cKd4C&lpg=PA75&ots=TiK6fDoae3&dq=robert%20benchley%20inherent%20vice&pg=PA72#v=onepage&q&f=false"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Inherent Vice: Express Paid</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">" [no Pynchon] I've just finished and it cracked me up.

It evolved in New York City in the 1920s and '30s and originally evolved with the jazz music of that time. Lindy was a fusion of many dances that preceded it or were popular during its development but is mainly based on jazz, tap, breakaway and Charleston. It is frequently described as a jazz dance and is a member of the swing dance family.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br />In its development, the Lindy Hop combined both partnered and solo dancing by using the movements and improvisation of black dances along with the formal eight-count structure of European partner dances. This is most clearly illustrated in the Lindy's basic step, the swingout. In this step's open position, each dancer is generally connected hand-to-hand; in its closed position, men and women are connected as though in an embrace.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br />Revived in the 1980s by American, Swedish, and British dancers, the Lindy Hop is now represented by dancers and loosely affiliated grass roots organizations found in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></span></div></blockquote><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);

I've been looking forward to breaking into this decade, as the gown styles become more fashion forward seemingly overnight. The line of demarcation is so pronounced it seems there was no time to transition.</div><div><br /></div><div>In this post, featuring gowns, weddings, and brides from the year 1960, you can whet your appetites with a brief taste of the styles to come. I remember hearing during a Making Of Mad Men special that they chose to set the first season of the show in 1960 because the last year of any decade is the culmination of the culture of the one it proceeds (for example: the year that best sums up 1980s style and culture was 1990). </div><div><br /></div><div>This post can be added to the anecdotal evidence column in proof of that theory. </div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYtGRsNNTVvv0JuX_HAjsFsuvHWReDJyspQ7ulN0_BZz0JcbFCYHnHlhpPvC9c0LvKiYjf-z9wGdjS9hwoB-f2c7lL9YU2-iFS6XBPNzQVTzwn4WLPnF1LMaiWocxBtn00eee886z8j3I/s1600-h/1960m.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 241px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYtGRsNNTVvv0JuX_HAjsFsuvHWReDJyspQ7ulN0_BZz0JcbFCYHnHlhpPvC9c0LvKiYjf-z9wGdjS9hwoB-f2c7lL9YU2-iFS6XBPNzQVTzwn4WLPnF1LMaiWocxBtn00eee886z8j3I/s400/1960m.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421140381050971650" /></a>As you can see, the prevalent 1950s trend of longsleeved gowns with scalloped or diaphanous necklines is still dominant in 1960.<br /><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyAt9ryJ-xdiwWS-y8VysPzmsByvwcQJykc85B-akPGBjeQDV62zAbeXF9cHgF_TK_XNLH3rMD0OHyy1O4IBwgvkFFf53jh59pz3Du_8G7PxTAxwms7EUSaaMkYJazRi_GSL9lv7km9Fc/s1600-h/1960l.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 252px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyAt9ryJ-xdiwWS-y8VysPzmsByvwcQJykc85B-akPGBjeQDV62zAbeXF9cHgF_TK_XNLH3rMD0OHyy1O4IBwgvkFFf53jh59pz3Du_8G7PxTAxwms7EUSaaMkYJazRi_GSL9lv7km9Fc/s400/1960l.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421140377862625106" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOrdjrkLcJTZHkIyPHLKiZlUUxFVKMEFImqoE6wBTh5VJlML9UjtCp8S0zWehnZ1L9Y9EzsRc7juZ9OYr7UXVC-j9sXQpPbt3ATyt5yeR99l_5ocx0roMov40QF-I5qfiff4ak9a0L8h8/s1600-h/1960k.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 226px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOrdjrkLcJTZHkIyPHLKiZlUUxFVKMEFImqoE6wBTh5VJlML9UjtCp8S0zWehnZ1L9Y9EzsRc7juZ9OYr7UXVC-j9sXQpPbt3ATyt5yeR99l_5ocx0roMov40QF-I5qfiff4ak9a0L8h8/s400/1960k.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421140372793370706" /></a>What I love most about this photo is that the affection is so clearly evident!

In the next installment of Vintage Black Weddings, this shift becomes even more apparent. Because the photo above is from a pictorial and straight from the runway, it's a few years before this style trickles down to every day brides.

I'd missed being of age to vote in the previous Presidential election of 2000 by only 6 months. By 2008, I'd voted in several local and senatorial elections, including my having voted for Barack Obama for senator in my home state of Illinois in 2004.</div><div><br /></div><div>During the summer of 2005, I interned at a political fundraising firm and got a brief taste of the political arena in Chicago and Illinois. Kwame Raoul, the state senator who filled the seat evacuated by Obama when he was elected to the United States Senate, was among the firm's client. For an exceptionally transient moment in time, I thought I'd enter politics and was enamored of all its glamour.</div><div><br /></div><div>I remember exactly where I was when Barack Obama announced his candidacy for the presidency. There'd been much teasing in the months preceding his official declaration, on local new shows and before football games, all to innocuous results. </div><div><br /></div><div>It was February 2006. I was in Cincinnati for a party with friends from Chicago. We turned on the television at our host's home, which was crowded with 18 and 19 year olds, and a few young 20-somethings, tired from the night before, jaded in ways I probably don't need to describe any further, to find Barack Obama on the capitol steps at Springfield making his presidential run official. Everyone in the room understood the significance. I'd never, at the time, been more proud to be a young voter from Chicago.</div><div><br /></div><div>Since that day, November 4th 2008 and January 20th 2009 have eclipsed the pride I then felt. </div><div><br /></div><div>Not to diminish my generation's role in the election of Barack Obama, but I can't imagine the impact and overwhelming emotions felt by voters of color in the 1950s and 1960s, who dared to vote in the South while being confronted with threats of violence, of those who partook in and witnessed the election of an ally in Kennedy.</div><div><br /></div><div>The images below begin to tell their stories:</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBUXWXbk2ih-vQwHfpcrX7ywDu-_wjH1JZRvcY3Z6UP2cwthuI64Q8gl7A4jEGfvq67mb00qGoB1aG-c-KNRzLVvfV49ZMJlI7FZKpxpryOq25KJghxfuGDXm7y_SOhPdF7Met9QIVV2k/s1600-h/voters1962d.jpg"><img style="display:block;

If I'm ever able to watch them, I'll do a proper review. </div><div><br /></div><div>More about <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0039521/">Juke Joint</a></i> from <a href="http://www.venerablemusic.com/catalog/TitleDetails.asp?TitleID=11460">VenerableMusic.com</a>:</div><div><blockquote><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Two small-time con men, Bad News Johnson and Cornbread Jones, are down to their last quarter when they breeze into town. Sweet-talking Johnson finds them a room at the home of Mama Lou Holiday by posing as a Hollywood big shot and promising to give acting lessons to Mama's beautiful daughter, Honey Dew. The fiery matriarch is determined to keep her young girl from following in the trampy footsteps of her older sister, Florida, and hopes that the acting lessons will help her "good" daughter win the local beauty contest.<br /><br />Amazingly, Johnson's guidance pays off with a victory for Honey Dew. To celebrate, the girl's shiftless father, Sam, takes her to the seedy Juke Joint, the same dive where floozy Florida hangs out, drinking, dancing, and planning her get-away to the big city with shady bar owner Johnny. When Jones and Johnson tell Mama Lou what's going on, she decides to go down and take care of business herself, packing a mean umbrella.<br /><br />Multi-talented Spencer Williams wrote, directed and appeared in dozens of films, most of them all-black productions, from 1928 until 1947. Retiring shortly after making Juke Joint, Williams was lured out of retirement in 1951 to play Andrew H. Brown in the beloved Amos 'N' Andy TV series.
