The tedium doesn’t allow you to move on, the tedium forces you to stay until it’s no longer tedium.
Jerry Lewis
This was said to Jerry Seinfeld as part of his show Comedians in cars getting coffee.
It’s a good way to view writing.
Or should I say re-writing.
A much briefer entry into one liner Wednesday this week.
The rebel fish 
Also applies to social media, I think.

It can be tedious in a different way, used as a distraction from the other

Jerry Lewis was a special one as Jerry actually got him to talk. Normally very irascible!

Jerry Lewis was more a genius than most people think and less of a genius than he thought…

I think you’re right. But not many were of or on his level. He got old, maybe lonely..if not many people get you it can happen – people can bore you – I guess his audience did, but not the real him. You could also say he wasn’t that nice to keep it simple! Not his public /off-stage face at least.

His “The Bellboy” is a work of art; and, his innovation in the field of directing himself was also impressive. I think his main problem, later on, was taking himself too seriously and producing movies like “The Day the Clown Cried”.
Have you seen “The Disorderly Orderly”?

As a kid, we’d invite the neighbor kid over and watch the Lewis’ movie and have a sleepover. No VHS means the television decided when you’d be watching…
