Having recommended him so highly, I’m even more upset. If you hadn’t seen his cable special then you may beg to differ. I, however, feel cheated and disillusioned by the man I hoped would be the comedian of the eighties. He may have “all the erasers to all the miniature golf pencils in the world” but that won’t feed him when his audiences catch on. If he wants to survive, Steven Wright will need to develop one of two things: more spontaneity or a bigger repertoire from which to choose. Opening for Steven Wright was James Lee Stanley. He was a funny little man in mauve OP pants, his curly hair graying slightly at the temples. He is an acoustic guitarist whose songs were introduced by short and quirky routines that often had little or nothing to do with the lyrics. He was, nonetheless, entertaining though a bit too folksy for my taste. His humor lies somewhere between middle-age humanity and teenage existentialism. His most memorable and funny piece was a song called “Oh Digitalis, Oh Cortisone”, a Carlos Santana inspired song about the kind of “latin” con­ tained in medical encyclopedias. Stanley also has several albums out and I must admit I’d be more apt to purchase his than Steven’s; that is until I’m sure Wright’s made it beyond monotony. — Susanne Van Cleave 4A Thursday, January 23,1986 Daily Nexus
