Sam Kinison

(Dedicated to Sam Kinison who died in a car crash on April 10, 1992.) Kinison was short and he was loud. When he raised his voice, he'd always draw a crowd. A teenager was responsible for his death. I can't believe what the boy said as Kinison took his final breath. He said "My _______ truck"' that was all he cared about. Kinison's voice was silenced forever, we would never again hear him shout. He may have been loud but he had a good heart and he was generous. He was a very funny man who loved to entertain us.
