The Wise Words of Brother Sam
He was officially his younger brother’s manager, but to Kinison, Bill was a mentor and guardian. Bill eventually wrote a book called Brother Sam: The Short, Spectacular Life of Sam Kinison, about a brother who was his “polar opposite.”
Bill, who basically raised his younger brothers, had a father-son relationship with Kinison. He recalled the time Kinison told him he was getting divorced. Bill told his brother: “I want you to forget about your family, your friends, and look down in your heart and see what you always wanted to do.”
