Comedy in the Fast Lane: Sam Kinison’s Rock Star Life

Rage, Rage, Rage

It was clear to everyone that Kinison was not in a happy place. He had an outlet (thankfully) but simply too much anger that his act was all rage, rage, rage. He would rant about his latest trials and tribulations – the women who took his money, his apartment, his stuff, his time, his heart.

He was angry – but relatable. He made a name for himself, getting standing ovations as he walked on the stage. The audiences loved his in-your-face style, the wife-hating rants, and the overall “f*** everything” attitude.
