Bob Kaufmann holds a unique distinction. His is the only brain officially recognized as a disaster area by the Mental Health organization. He has a great following, comprised largely of bill collectors and rabid dogs. As a writer of comedy material, he is largely responsible for the comeback of at least one formerly great TV comedy star. As a matter of fact. were it not for Kaufmann’s writing, the star would not have needed a comeback.
His newspaper column. Bob Kaufmann‘s Mad World, is syndicated mainly (Use of the word, largely, would give it an undeserved importance.) in Northern California, and has been described by various critics as vulgar, incredibly naive, overly sophisticated, cynical, destructive, and disruptive. His greatest tribute came from a spokesman for Governor Reagan, who. in a letter to a newspaper he held in contempt, wrote that Kaufmann’s column was unworthy of even that paper. In brief, Bob Kaufmann has something for everyone.
His writings were brought to the attention of Lee Hazlewood not by either an admirer or a critic, but by an accountant, who pointed out that by producing an album of Bob Kaufmann‘s mad world, the brilliantly successful Mr. Hazlewood would get a much needed tax loss.
