Did any of you freaks here remember Lenny?

afterthefact · 06.02.2009, 02:46 PM

I can't remember his last name...

SYRFox · 06.02.2009, 02:55 PM

I think it's Kravitz. Not sure though.

atsonicpark · 06.02.2009, 02:56 PM

I'm pretty sure he often omits this line when singing the song live.

I wonder...

It's probably Lenny Bruce.

Or Lenny Breu.

afterthefact · 06.02.2009, 02:57 PM

Or maybe he is thinking of Lemmy...

Derek · 06.02.2009, 03:06 PM

His last name is Leonard by the way...

Kegmama · 06.02.2009, 03:07 PM

Lenny Leonard.
This is the only Lenny I know...

Kegmama · 06.02.2009, 03:08 PM

Damn Derek! Great minds...

automatic bzooty · 06.02.2009, 03:36 PM

d'you remember carl, too?

jennthebenn · 06.02.2009, 04:17 PM

Carl Carlson? Love that guy.

RanaldoNecro · 06.02.2009, 07:42 PM

Carl = Karl Marx
Lenny = Vladimir Lenin

One of best Simpsons moments is when Homer has "Lenny=White, Carl=Black" written on his hand

I assumed Lenny Bruce. It would fit the lyrical theme of the rest of the LP.

A few years back I was trying to write a book (seriously) about the NYCG&F lyrics. But like most things that are hard work, I just sort of hung out instead.

I never sensed it was anyone famous. It just struck me as some random guy that nobody remembered.

But if it is someone famous, it's obviously Lenny from Laverne and Shirley.

That's sort of what I thought, just because the lyrics seemed to be more fiction than non, so I wasn't looking for any real world connections.

Until I read "Lengths & Breaths," I thought he said "I set down the sonic receiver."
