Howie, Power of Laughter and Basement Diving.


Meet Howie. Howie is 66 years old and a cross between Jack LaMotta's final days and Tony Clifton, an aging underground stand-up comic meets a bad lounge act. Howie perfroms(sic) his passionate confessional skits in dives as catharsis. So, what is a 'dive bar'? A dive bar is typically a small, unglamorous, eclectic, old-style bar with inexpensive drinks and may feature dim lighting, shabby or dated decor, neon beer signs, packaged beer sales, cash-only service, and a local clientele. That being said, the precise definition of a dive bar is something on which people rarely agree, and is the subject of spirited debates. The term dive was first used in the press in the U.S. in 1880s to describe disreputable places that were often in basements into which one "dives below".


bye. and P.S. Howie RULES.
