AI notes: On December 31, 1987, Sam Kinison performed a raucous New Year’s Eve show at the Felt Forum in New York City. Known for his loud, aggressive style and raw, controversial humor, Kinison delivered a high-energy set filled with his trademark rants on relationships, religion, and sex. The show captured him at the height of his fame, combining stand-up comedy with a rock-and-roll atmosphere fitting for the holiday crowd. The performance reflected Kinison’s growing reputation as both a comedic force and cultural provocateur. With his intense stage presence and unapologetic material, the night stood out as a bold and wild celebration to ring in 1988.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time.
The Village Voice was an American counterculture newspaper known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. It introduced free-form, high-spirited, and passionate journalism into the public discourse - a tradition it maintained throughout its 60+ year history. It is quite common to find great political cartoons, satirical cartoons and articles, thought-provoking editorials, and ads and reviews for both concerts and theater productions - both on and off Broadway. Many iconic writers and musicians credit their appearance in The Village Voice for at least a portion of their success.
