Norm Macdonald has gone to glory
Norm Macdonald is no longer one of the funniest men alive. Scarce copies of his wonderful fabulist non-memoir, Based on a True Story are currently selling for $500 on Amazon.
Norm divided the crowd, but he had an unflinching commitment to the power of jokes to shock us out of our complacency and into moments of both childlike delight and darkly adult recognition. Beneath the under-stated, plain man exterior was a mind like a knife. He was well-read, thoughtful, and serious about his Christian faith. He focused all that talent on making people laugh. There was nothing like him.
