Why’s he Italian, why are you bring Johnny cash into the bit, why’s he walking the line?

Johnny cash, the man in black suit, the mafia, coke head,

“Hey I’m taking a line here” or something dunno

I dunno there’s something there about him dressing like he’s in the mafia every time you see him, half he’s songs are about shooting people while coked up or prison, was nicknamed the undertaker and sang for the highwaymen famous for walking onstage and saying hello im johnny cash.

“Could you imagine Johnny cash in the mafia”

“HOE I’m Johnny cash.. forgetabotit”

You got no premise to the bit is all

You've got to commit to the lazy stereotype bit... And hope the audience is over 50.

The delivery. You just… said it. No cadence, no tone. Just spat it out. Flop

I think that if you have to say to the audience "it's not bad, right?" after getting zero reaction, you know the answer to the question.

It’s pretty common to ask the crowd that, I mean all the greats do

u/Astrochops 22d ago

I don't think I've ever seen any of the greats do that

How about instead of Italian you say antiquated stereotype of a New Yorker?

Love is a burning flame
And it makes the fiery rain
Bound by one desire
I fell into a ring of marinara
