They eventually turned a lot of us (myself included) away due to lack of space. [...] [...] By the way, when I got to the Steve Reich concert venue, there was a huge line of people waiting to get in.

Reich has been a fav of mine for several decades; in the early 70's he would show up as a visiting professor at CalArts and many of us would race out there to attend a lecture or an evening's performance. His drumming/percussion pieces of that period were particularly inspiring for me, and for my friends who matriculated through CalArts, UCLA, and USC to play in small jazz combos, large orchestras, and rock bands. And i second David's mention of Steven Wright-- he talks so slow and deliberate, baiting you to stop paying attention so he can slip the punch line right past you. One i always liked was about changing the radio in his car, he didn't like the stations it played, those damned wires were such a pain to get straight, but he didn't understand why all the people were honking at him on the Santa Monica freeway?

He does physics jokes. (But they're not his best). I was in a job interview and I opened a book and started reading. Then I said to the guy, "Let me ask you a question. If you are in a spaceship that is traveling at the speed of light, and you turn on the headlights, does anything happen?" He said, "I don't know." I said, "I don't want your job." ---- Steven Wright There’s another steve wright in america who’s actually funny. He does physics jokes. (But they’re not his best).
