Thank you Gary for standing up for good values and speaking out. Our society constantly pushes the boundary of what is good and decent, and gradually new standards evolve as people, in a desire to be seen as tolerant and understanding, accept it and do not push back.

It sounds like Wolf's talent does not need the profanity to shine through (I didn't watch it, thanks to his warning), it's a shame he does not know that he is better than that. I lived in Finland for two years and did not experience the profanity described.

I think we sometimes forget when we were young (or were in the Navy) and used the same kind of language as kids today. In fact most adults still curse, only we have learned to control it. I suspect kids today will go through that same cycle, and our Country will survive.

Do you think JFK, and Ronald Reagan cursed as a kidS? (and as adults)? We can survive "bad" words...it's the bullets that hurt.

Do I think he would be good without the X rated language? SURE, but that and the whiskey make up this particular persona. And, you gotta admit, it's different and, to some, entertaining.

Don't like it...don't listen.

Kind of reminds me of Tom Waits, one of my all-time favorites.

"Howl on", Wolf!

I communicate with several Synthzone members on Skype and
one member told me he was really upset by the profanity in Heikki's
videos, and then went on to say how "f@cking digusting" it was
that I posted the Wolf's videos on Synthzone.
Wow . . talk about the height of hyprocrisy!

Scott,

Can I have three guesses!!!

Well said Larry

I don't doubt that most of us have used 'bad' language in our lives - especially in the military service - but I would never talk like that in front of my parents and now kids talk that way to their parents ...

I watched a comedian on cable tv the other night and he was as funny as anyone I've ever heard without using one 'bad' word ...

There is obviously an audience for this type of 'entertainment' and I don't have to watch or listen ...

I only use bad language when I play golf, which, when spelled backwards, is Flog. #@!&*

That's what I'm talkin about, Mason....HEE HEE!

A growing number of comedians seem to think the more they drop the "F" bomb on the audience, the funnier they are. I disagree. No comedian was funnier than Bill Cosby. He had a way with him that was incredibly humorous and NEVER, to my knowledge, used any profanity at all during any performance.

How about Johnny Carson, Jonathon Winters, Don Rickles, Milton Berle, professor Irwin Corey, George Burns, Jackie Gleason, Tim Conway, Lily Tomlin, Mel Brooks, Tim Allen, and a huge number of others that provided us with years of wonderful laughter till tears ran down our eyes. These people, in my opinion, were true comedians.

Cheers,

Gary
