I was hooked on standup comics when I was young; where I grew up
  was a hotbed of comics in the 1980s - New Jersey, USA, and they
  were like favorite Aunts and Uncles to me, telling me about
  "Life The Way It Really Is".

  Kids today have Chris Rock, which I'm really glad for. He's
  popular among kids of all races but similar ages, and I'm a fan
  because I know the strong and positive influence an intelligent
  comedian can have on an 8-14 year old mind, as well as beyond.

  Those are the years that parents and teachers often throw up
  their arms and go "ugh!" but popular entertainment fills in the
  gaps and becomes their teachers, prophets, and sages.
