I'm saying that the milieu in which Don Rickles operated was, culturally, a million miles from now. Don Rickles was closer in time to Amos & Andy than we are to Pinkie & The Brain. Don Rickles was doing stand-up while Lenny Bruce was being arrested. While Carlin was doing Seven Dirty Words. Don Rickles was famous before Adam Sandler was born. I'm saying Don Rickles is not relevant to the discussion, because the age of Don Rickles' humor is as relevant to humor today as the flying era of Amelia Earhart is to Kobe Bryant's crash.
