I?m glad you mentioned that conversation between Louis C.K. and Marc Maron, Allison?it?s required listening for fans of this show. And from it we learn not only that C.K. used to have a thing for impulse purchases but also that he used to ride a motorcycle?and that he once crashed it in New York City. It was the golden age of stand-up, when a comic like him could do 10 shows in a night. He would do a bunch downtown, then ?scream uptown? on his Honda Super Sport 750 for gigs at Catch a Rising Star and the Comic Strip. On one such night he told himself, ?I?ve got the world by the balls.? The next night he plowed into a car on 2nd Avenue. He got sent home from the hospital, just like he did in last night?s episode, and spent two weeks in bed. Then he noticed for the first time that he was going bald. Within days, comedy clubs began to close: Stand-up?s golden age was over. ?That night was a huge, instant turning point,? he told Maron. ?Everything in my life went badly for like three to four years.?
