evidence: I wonder what Groucho would have made of the times we’re living in. An avowed liberal democrat his whole life, Groucho said politics: "is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies." He (also) famously said "I wouldn’t want to be a member of any club that would have me as a member". Most of us, when we’re young, find a singer or band that speaks to us. It’s like they know our soul. For me, that was Groucho and Groucho was that. [...] Like many comedians, in his private life, Groucho was very different. He was Julius – much more understated. He was private and very polite. While he didn’t have writers like S. J. Perlman and Bert Kalmer and Harry Ruby crafting his words, Julius did more than just okay.
