Rant Ramble and Repeat

Rant Ramble and Repeat
I rant, I ramble and quite often repeat…thus the name of my blog. I in fact very frequently (What's the Frequency Kenneth?) carry on like a chicken with it's bus pass taken away.I was compared at one point by my brother ,the aspiring rockstar, to various "Ranting comedians" because of the rambling nature of what I write, the anger involved, the cursing, my use of self effacing irony and of course the humor that occasionally pops up in my compositions. While I appreciate the comparison as a compliment I don't think it really fits. I am more of a rambler than a ranter and honestly I am usually not all that funny (When I am though I'm hilarious…trust me).
As for some of those other things, well I suppose they do fit except with that ever hard to define thing known as Irony. Irony however is hard to define and even harder to use effectively …just ask Alanis Morrsett (However the hell she spells it…I don't care). I may be a little late in the making fun of her game but remember she really brought any criticism she still brings on herself by setting up herself with that dumbass song misusing the term not once but repeatedly through out the entire painful number.
Alanis "Moronissette" wouldn’t know real irony if it sat on her… which, ironically, it has. And Avril Leninny knows squat-nothing about complicated relationships. And moving on to comedians famous for their "rants" would somebody tell Dennis Menace that REAL rants NEVER contain references to Mesopotamian historical figures, quotes from Shakespeare and “Threes Company”, White House talking points, the words “who wants pie” and insufferable smugness? You see, THIS is not a rant either. It has form, substance and humor and does not have 25% foul language (minimum requirement), unprovable conspiracy theories and more than three consecutive words IN UPPER CASE. It does not have adequate anger to be a true rant (I am very very rarely driven to such a high level of anger, and Mr. Miller is such an admitted bad actor that he wouldn’t be able to show believable anger if something ripped his leg off). Though in fairness to rant form it does start entirely too many sentences with "And…" So this is not a rant… What this IS is a humorous ramble. What Miller does is also humorous (and sometimes failing to be humorous) rambling at an relatively high speed (most useful in getting past those parts that fail to be humorous - that’s what made him popular for about 15-18 minutes). Most ‘Ranting’ comedians really are not. George Carlin did not start out ranting; even his most profane earlier pieces were not rants. He started doing some ranting in 1988 (the “What Am I doing in New Jersey” show) and has yet to reach more than 28% ranting in performance. And then there’s ‘attitude’, formerly known as ‘bad attitude’ until it was recently discovered that the word just never refers to ‘good attitude’ anymore. “Attitude” in the bizarro world of comedy is merely a euphemism for obnoxiousness or sometimes offensiveness (although “Political Incorrectness” is the preferred substitute for the latter). A comedian with “attitude” is entertaining to watch, but would be total agony to take on a long car trip. And even when you are willing to ask for directions because you’re really really lost, the ‘attitude comic’ will never allow you to. Trust me on this. Speaking of very very lost, what was I talking about? Irony? Uh… who wants pie?
Damn
