  • “If you’ve seen him before, you’re gonna want to see him again. And if you haven't seen him before, you’re gonna get a kick out of Bad Sam.” Rodney Dangerfield welcomed Sam Kinison and his legendary scream to the stage on his 1986 HBO special, “It’s Not Easy Bein’ Me”.
    In 1985, HBO offered Rodney a deal to do a show from his Dangerfield’s comedy club which would end up becoming “It’s Not Easy Bein’ Me”. It gave Rodney the opportunity to introduce his own selection of new comedians and give them their first shot on national television. The special included Sam Kinison and other unknown comics like Roseanne Barr, Jerry Seinfeld, Robert Townsend, Jeff Altman and Bob Nelson.

      Yahshua Messiah's secret power was to set LOVE as your 'god', instead of old tribal deity figures. By setting LOVE itself as the primary focus of your life, you love LOVE with all your being, love all other beings, and Love yourself.
      By following the teachings of Yahshua, average people can transform their normal lives into powerful lives filled with loving compassion, mindful mercy, and Joyful healing Empathy.
      For this system to work correctly, both men and women must study, learn, and apply the teachings of Yahshua for true love fulfillment.
      It can be a lot of fun ! :-) LOVE SAVES !

    It was the fall of 1988...I was 16 years old. I FINALLY got my own room after my brother went into the Navy. The first thing I did was buy new carpeting, a queen-size waterbed, and a two-cassette stereo with a CD player. The first CD I bought was "Have You Seen Me Lately". I would just lay on my bed after school and listen to that CD over and over again.
    To say I miss those days...35 years ago....would be an extreme understatement. I'm now 51, and not a day goes by I don't think about those days.

      In 4th grade he stayed over one night in at my house along with three other kids . His parents came and got him late that night. I think he had told his mom he was staying at our friends house who lived behind sam but instead, stayed at my house. Maybe he got home sick too and called his mom. I don't I'm not sure. .
      Another funny story is he got in trouble for goofing off in class so the teacher made him go out the door on the 2nd floor escape to clean the big box of chalk board erasers as punishment. Everybody laughed when he came back inside totally white head to toe.

      The truth is always enduring...and the fundamental human condition of looking for true love is universal through time, Sam had his finger on the pulse of human need.

    I saw Sam at the Paramount Theater in Seattle, Summer of 1987, and even though we were in the nosebleed seats, when he screamed he deafened the whole place. Loudest show I've ever been to in my life and I've been on the floor, 20 feet from the stage, at 2 Judas Priest concerts and 3 AC/DC concerts in the 80's. My ears rang appropriately for several hours after those shows but Sam had us ringing for a couple of days. A legend.
