Sam Kinison's Big Break in 1984. -Rodney Dangerfield's Young Comedians Special

That's awesome! I bet you'e got a great story to tell about that night.

I didn't realize until a few years ago how Sam had some very subtle humor hidden under his bombastic delivery. Here he is hammering all of the fake celebrities who did the USA for Africa thing in the '80s. I was a kid then but I recall all the news about starvation in Ethiopia, which was soon eclipsed by all the celebs at the time doing that "We are the World" song. The radio and MTV played that until the tape burned up. The truth was, after they all got what they wanted out of it, the little money that was left went to the corrupt Ethiopian government that had caused the famine and the starving people got nothing.

@Calling All Stations: there you go then. Reminds me of the scene from Blade Runner where the chief tells Deckard if your not with us your little people. Always about money and greed and the little people suffer for no reason best to not be in the position and dont be greedy. Sam is great and should have been even more popular who knows tho all is down to God. \G/
