Finger-jabbing, gasket-blowing comedian Lewis Black hates a lot of things -- but Minnesota isn't one of them.
Last year, the political hothead filmed his new comedy special, "In God We Rust," at the State Theatre in downtown Minneapolis. Just days after releasing it on DVD, Black is back in Minnesota, this time at the Mystic Lake Showroom.
The comic always has been a fan of Twin Cities audiences (he says we're smart!). But he also loves to make fun of us, as he did during the Comedy Central special. "You guys empathize with anything," he said. "Seriously, how else do you elect Michele Bachmann?"
When I talked with Black last year, he was still riled up about Bachmann's presidential run. A lot has changed since then (she dropped out).
At the time, the comedian also had a beef with Twitter, which he had still neglected to join. Black is now on the social network and is approaching 100,000 followers. He might not be tweeting a whole lot, but his crotchety attitude shines through in 140 characters.
A couple of weeks ago he posted the following tweet with zero context and directed at no one in particular:
"I don't understand what u r saying."
That's vintage Lewis Black.
