Albert Brooks - “A Star Is Bought”

 

Some criminal has illegally uploaded the out of print 1975 Albert Brooks comedy album to YouTube. I hope they are caught and put in prison. 

December 5, 1972: Albert Brooks auditions songwriters for a new National Anthem on “The Flip Wilson Show.”

Yes. Well, you delivered two boxes. I think it’s a total of 5000 campaign buttons. Now, all the ones we had before and our slogan is: “We are the people,” and “are” is underlined. These new buttons have “we” underlined. That reads, “We are the people.”
Well, I think there’s a difference.  ”We are the people” is not the same as “We are the people.”
Let’s not fight.
Look, we’ll make it real simple…
We don’t pay for the buttons. We throw the buttons away, all right?
