Hi all,

Some of you may be interested to see that Canada's satirical commedy program "Air Farce" has done a short spoof on LC's tour. It's a bit cynical, perhaps (playing on the theme, rightly or wrongly, that he's touring because he's broke), but armed with a sense of humour, one might appreciate it.

The link to the caption (not sure how long this will remain in place) is:

Thanks for posting this! I liked the older Air Farce LC skit (also on YouTube) better but this one made me laugh too, though I wasn't sure why at times. The whole "sluts of the world" thing doesn't really make sense. But one can see that the guy is a good deadpan comedian, which I always appreciate (he's not as good as LC himself!) and the Hallelujah parody lyrics were pretty funny. Somehow the other one

seems less mean spirited because it just makes fun of his so called "dreary" music and doesn't get into his personal life/finances/reason for touring.

Just wonderful!

So spare a penny (or 350 Swiss francs/or 220 EUROS) for poor Lenny!

Thanks Godwyn. Brilliant.

If the guy sitting next to you is singing along "All your Moulah" that'll be me. Thanks G.
