This page has consistently asked for a blockbuster musical act to be brought to Harvard, and the council delivered. Landing Bob Dylan was a coup for the Campus Life Committee (CLC). However, neither we nor Harvard students in general showed much enthusiasm for an expensive, yet still second-rate comedy act—namely Jim Bruer’s recent performance at Sanders Theatre.
