I Love Chris Rock! He is so very smart and so very right on. (and he's pretty easy on the eyeballs too :) lol but that is not why I like him really! haha shhhhhhh :p and now a bit straight from Mr Rock: O: When you're doing a new special, do you feel a need to match or top the previous one?

CR: No. The key when you're doing these specials is just to be relevant. Clinton hasn't been president for four years. There's no need for Clinton jokes, no need to go back. You see a lot of comedians who hang on to shit. You can tell their age 10 minutes into their specials. The thing is to be culturally relevant for me. I always want to show growth. When I started these specials, I was just talking about getting laid or whatever, and now I lead off with talking about my kid. Comedians tend to find a comfort zone and stay there and do lamer versions of themselves for the rest of their career. That's the average stand-up. I'm trying to be like Bob Dylan, somebody that has grown.
