Sam Kinison


I went out last night with my friend Jeff the singer to drop off a demo for a potential gig. There was a kid playing the guitar when we got there. He sounded like Sam Kinison, not a particularly good thing for a singer.  Ohhhhhh! Nooooo! Ahhhhh! Strum, strum, strum. He was a real aggressive strummer. I doubt the kid knew who Sam Kinison was. I think if he did he’d change his style.
Jeff and I were talking to the booking agent. She turned to me in between songs and said, “isn’t he great? I love his voice.”
I felt like saying to her he sounds like Sam Kinison, but she was younger and she probably didn’t know who Sam Kinison was either.
            The kid finished his set and someone yelled "one more." There were maybe five people in the place. I was hoping he wouldn’t play another song. He did.
