Today- April 10 marks the 14th anniversary of the death of Sam Kinison.
Sam was on his way to Laughlin to perform that night at the Riverside,
when a drunk teenager crossed over the line on the Needles highway, and
hit Sam's Trans Am. He was traveling with his wife of only 6 days, and
she survived the crash. What an interesting person Sam Kinison was. A
former Evangelical Minister to a hell raising fowl mouthed comedian. He
had changed his ways at the time of his death, and had been sober and
drug free for several months.
I always think of him every time I drive the Needles Highway on the way
into town. RIP Sam.
