Dangerfield was one of my all time favorites. He was a very funny bastard. I used to see him at his midtown Manhattan comedy club, Dangerfield's, years back. We drank with him on several occasions too. He could booze up pretty good when he wanted to.
That's exactly right, I remember Dangerfield's being right on 2nd Ave as you came off the Queensborough Bridge into Manhattan from Queens. When I started drinking it wasn't legally and was down on The Bowery at CBGB's or the Mudd Club in Tribeca.
