We had the privilege of seeing Don Rickles perform at Casino Rama just a few short months before his passing. He was way different in person. He told of missing his friends who'd passed that he loved so much. He cried on stage and told everyone to stop taking their friends and family for granted because tomorrow isn't guaranteed. He told of his great friendship with Bob Newhart. Yes there was loads of laughter, but we knew he was close to his time because he was out of breath a lot but performed nevertheless less. Don Rickles has my respect as an entertainer and a man. He was loved and is missed. R.I.P. Don, Alan, Groucho, Johnny, Dean, and all the rest.

I was born in 1970, so, unfortunately, my first decade was the best my life could ever be!!!!!! As 70s kids, we got to be young at the greatest peak of America, of our peacetime, (between Nam and Lebanon/Beirut was a record 7 years, for our violent government!), of the world of fun, as experienced by human beings. WE had it all! There wasn't much reason to advance any further. Most of all, we still had freedom, now it's gone forever, not taken by some foreign government, but by our own, war drumbeating government. 70s kids started at the top! A Glorious Time Indeed

You're certainly not wrong about the dramatic changes in acceptable behaviors/styles across generations, between the 55 years between this roast and current ones. Both old and new are funny, but what's acceptable behavior/language are night-and-day different. But what is tasteful/acceptable cuts both ways... and not as one-sided as you suggest. Yes, our modern speech/behavior is sadly more crude now. But the modern world is also much more tolerant and equitable than the older era. We've righted many old wrongs, and somehow mostly avoided the world wars of the 20th century. We've made great advancements in human rights and quality of life. So its not as one-sided worse as you suggest. At age 70, I lovingly remember all these great comics/roasts, but I also still enjoy the modern versions. Different? Yes. Better? Questionable.
