Sam Kinison's take on love

[march1971]

Sam Kinison, a former preacher, always had the funniest stuff about love, and it made the crowd laugh. I watched his stuff on Youtube. he has been dead almost 21 years, but his routines will live on. I like the one where he is pretending to meet someone new. "Come on, this is love, this is real love. I wouldn't lie to you ten times in a row. come on, open the door" okay let's open the door and see what she's like. ROOOOOOAR OH OOOOOOOOHH, YOU TOLD ME THAT IT'S THE DOOR TO LOVE, BUT IT'S THE DOOR TO HELL! he was not as raunchy as his rival Andrew Dice Clay.
I watched one of the Diceman's routines and he was fidgeting with a cigarette and then with his arms and FINALLY, he spoke. Sam never fidgeted around when he came on stage, other than to throw the microphone stand and yell OH OOOOOOH!

I saw Sam Kinison live lots of years ago.  He was funny and raunchy, but he also let some vulnerability come through at times that appealed.  He was sometimes referred to as the Muppet from Hell.  I still miss him.  Hope he's knockin' 'em dead somewhere in the ether.
