Why oh why did Sam Kinison have to go? I have always been a fan & had the opportunity to see him a couple of times before his death. He was raw, edgy, truthful and above everything else humbled by his defeats.
While this doesn't have as much of his routine that I would have liked to revisited it did however give alot of back story to the man behind the laughs.
Utlimately this was a very entertaining documentary on a comic legend.
