Sam Kinison died 15 years ago this week, the 10th to be precise. I was going to mention this earlier but the local weekly had done a two-part story on him and I wanted to link both parts.
Now maybe some of you didn't have Sammy as part of your upbringing and that may actually be a good thing. For those heathens like me, however, it really sucked when he up and died on us, as your better tortured entertainment types tend to do.
Today is unfortunately going to be remembered for a more significant death. Kurt Vonnegut passed away and if you have never read any of his books, go pick up Breakfast of Champions. You'll thank me for it.

Wow.
I was getting a keg of beer for a company party with my now ex-wife on the morning I heard the news that Kinison had died.
I have this issue of the Weekly sitting, unread, on a couch in the living room.
Nothing to do with my ex, but Wild Thing, it still makes me laugh.
Feh. Thanks for the post.
