Yeah, I somehow didn’t really get just how many kinds of genius he was until recent years. I always liked his stuff, but I somehow never paid enough attention to get that smidge of countercultury gen-x (He’s a boomer, but we’ll give him an honorary position) “I see your bullshit” attitude that sneaks in from time to time.
Also a long time fan - seen his act live 4 times lol. I can relate to missing some things - it took me 30 years to get the joke in “She Never Told Me She Was A Mime” - and it’s in the title.

One that really came out of left field for me was Skipper Dan. It felt like I was simultaneously being called out and heard. Subtle genius.

Wow you are a true fan, I’m more of a filthy casual. :D
