Logos are usually reserved for brand names, rock bands, and superheroes, but comedian Dane Cook has acquired his own logo--the Superfinger. This tricked-out variation of the middle finger embodies Cook's irreverent style of humor, and, on the one-CD/one-DVD set RETALIATION, recorded live in Boston, there's plenty of his quirky, in-your-face banter. Here the Massachusetts native waxes profane on being "Abducted" into alien spaceships ("I'm interested. I'm here for you. Don't suck me up by my chest."), "Superpowers" ("I'd like to be able to shoot spaghetti out of my fingertips."), and "The Friend Nobody Likes" ("You keep them [around] to hate their guts."). Like the crass buddy you can't help but laugh at, Cook isn't afraid to offend, and his carefree, often-absurd routines are sure to keep listeners chuckling, while waving their Superfingers in the air.
