If you think about what’s she’s paid for the minutes this video is playing (and assuming she uses at least that one video multiple times) she’d still be making a profit if she supported him.

@@rippindrummer666 I am not doubting a brain injury. However, Dr. Grande referenced this as taking place at age 3. And that as a child police were called to his home due to his behavior. How much of a concrete personality can be developed in a child by age 3? Brain injury is well noted to cause impulsive behaviors. Maybe there were 2 sides to Sam, the painfully quiet, shy, introverted side and the expressive, extroverted side. Much of his comedy centered around his anger at the women in the relationships who betrayed him. One of his close friends stated that after his wife betrayed him with adultery and divorced him thats when he turned course from the life of an evangelist to a comedian. Unresolved wounds without forgiveness can lead to an festering bitterness that knows no relief. I feel compassion for him though he has passed.

I loved watching him back in the 80's. He had a defining ability to go from sweet and calm, to just explode, and the fun was in knowing that was coming. A lot of parents I saw in life had that ability to some degree.. Sarcasm, patronizing, sarcasm.. and then just Boom! Interesting that it was a Trans Am he died in. I remember a MTV video where he rode off in a white Corvette with plates "EX REV". So I always thought he died in a Corvette. Not that it's a big deal, just a memory.

While I tend to agree with your assessment, for the most part, one thing I've always found intriguing is the fact that so many high-profile comedians that were coming up through the 80s have specifically labeled Sam Kinison as the funniest person they've ever met. Apparently, the man was hysterical behind the scenes... even if he could never remember what happened.

SK's last words make me wonder whether he was imagining talking to his Dad. I am reminded of an experience my Mom had (more benign, thankfully): she had been attempting to stop smoking & out of the blue one day, she "heard" her Dad's voice saying in her head "Isn't it time you stopped smoking?" Her Dad had been dead for several years by then. It made such an impression & she had no craving for cigarettes after that. You mentioned SK's admiration for his Dad, so wonder whether his psyche imagined his Dad talking to him.

This one was more personal than usual for me...a very close friend who was extremely talented, creative, and funny, was a fan of Kinison'; not sure why now, maybe because he identified with Kinison, who always seemed to be flinging his demons around the stage. Unfortunately, he also had the same type of self-destructive behaviors, and passed away at an entirely too young age, 39 as opposed to Kinison's 38. It might sound trite, but I really wish he'd had a chance to work with Dr. Grande, so that he might still be with us. Thanks as always, Dr. Grande, for a fascinating video.

Dr. Grande, I'd like to pitch an idea, and I think it's a pretty good one for your channel; Would you consider doing an analysis of the history and program of A.A.? I know it's a complex (and potentially sensitive/controversial) topic to cover, but here's the idea; You could break it down into 12 separate episodes for each of the 12 steps, or if time efficiency allows, you could break the episodes down into each of the four sets of steps (1-3, 4-6, 7-9, and 10-12 all have separate, respectively important themes), analyzing the potential therapeutic effectiveness and reasoning behind each one, while also offering a clinical psychologist's perspective on each step, eventually summarizing with your thoughts on the program as a whole. That's it, and don't worry- I won't ask for a cut of the bazillions of dollars you'd make if you do do it. lol

I've also heard that our brains produce large amounts of DMT as we're in the process of dying, and that this is possibly because DMT acts as a last-ditch effort life support system for our brain function, essentially giving it just a little more time to keep working in case whatever our cause of death can be reversed, kind of like a backup generator.

His stand-up could be hard to take sometimes, but he was great in 'Back to School.' My late husband was in Vietnam. The part where Sam goes off on the student in history class is a family favorite. "I know that's the popular version of what went on there. I know a lot of people like to believe that." And then it just gets better. I used to listen to him on Howard Stern and was sorry to hear of his passing.

Kinison would not be able to perform today without being cancelled. Most of the comedians of that time couldn't perform today, actually, for fear of being offensive. Nobody is allowed to be funny anymore. It's a shame so many great comics met their demise early in life. Chris Farley and John Belushi also partied hard and died young.

Sam did a recorded show in 1988 at a comedy club in L.A. He had enough material to last throughout the show, most of it based on his failed marriages. Hugh Hefner and a couple of girlfriends attended, it was one of Kinison's best shows. His brief gig in England was pretty funny too. I've seen several generic, "paint by number" stand-up comedians debut on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show. Sam was painfully honest vs "safe comedians with safe material". His older (manager) brother told him once he found the right woman his act was over.

His comedic style wasn't really anything I liked, but it would have been interesting to see what he'd end up doing with his career. He definitely died too young. I was shocked that he was only 38. I always thought he was much, much older. He looked like his was 58, but I'm sure the alcohol and drugs took their toll.

Can't fully analyze someone on stimulants, speaking firsthand, everything you say, everything you do, everything you feel, is real, just HEAVILY amplified due to lowered inhibition, in addition to increased awareness, energy & motivation, his tangents of 1 subject can be attributed to getting "stuck" as we call it.

@@sarahholland2600 Life and death are pretty much the same for those who have not yet fully transcended belief in duality. Even Jesus at the moment of death cried out "My God, My God; Why hasth Thou forsaken Me?" He was in a moment of transition between life and death, and actually still holding his pre-death consciousness, seconds prior to his release from the physical, in other words still behaving 100% human. For those yogis, who choose a time and place of their death, surrounded by students, after giving a lecture, there is no conversation. They know the method of releasing body, mind, and all traces of humanhood, before entering into spiritual ecstasy. But, they have practiced that method to near-completion many times before their finally leaving. They know where they are going, because it is the same place that they came from. There is no sense of fear of the unknown. They have dwelled their simultaneously throughout their human lifetime and consider that their only true reality, and this temporary human life, merely as a short drama to be played out for the sake of usually teaching others and sometimes to complete residual karmic matters.

Nice work on this one, Dr. Grande. I love your respect for Sam, being that he was truly himself and in no way trying to put something over on anybody. His act and his life were about the same and probably both were victimized by his childhood trauma. I don't think you mentioned why he lived the rock and roll lifestyle, and attracted friends from that genre. Because, he was a rock star, in a sense. The man could shred a guitar with some of the best of them. I mean, he was a "fret master." He rarely showed it, but it can be seen on SNL, prior to his monologue, when the guitar virtuoso in the SNL Band, points him in the direction of a shiny red Fender, and Sam acts surprised, but picks it up and woos and awes the audience. He was an amazing powerful little package who decided to use up his life on his own terms without hurting others but expressing his joy and pain.

In 1988 I went to see Sam Kinison with my brother at the Mann Music Center in Philly. He was at his zenith but he was clearly not up to par. He was pleasing the diehards like myself who forgave his missing a punchline here or there because he still was brilliant but there was a sloppiness to his performance. Sam was a loose cannon and he lived life on the edge with his razor sharp observations that were truthful about relationships and how they don't always bring out the best in people. He was brutally honest which I loved but his flaws and interest in substances and the wild life took away from what he did best which was biting commentary on the human condition.
