Sarah McLachlan and Sad Animals

This is pretty funny bit by Kathleen Madigan.
I have seen that commercial, it’s the saddest thing ever.
So depressing in fact that I would shield my eyes and
run in the opposite direction whenever it came on.
Kathleen is correct, she has the solution to motivating
folks…get ’em angry!
Do not try this at home…


Halloween

I remember sitting front and center right next to the stage
at the CD Release Party for John Pinette at the Montreal
Comedy Festival back in the late 90’s.
Bubbling with Laughter series at Club Soda, Show Me the
Buffet was his first national release.
We were invited to be there, his publicist wanted to get as
much air play and exposure as he could get.
I was impressed with his ability to make me laugh but was
convinced that he was a one trick pony, relying too much
on eating and being large to truly make it as a top shelf
stand-up comedian.
I was wrong, and I was right.
He most definitely did base his act on being overweight and
eating way too much, but he managed to make a legitimate
career out of being large without it being tedious or repetitive.
And boy, did he ever.
Top ten best ever, in my humble opinion.
This is a great bit, some excellent lines here…



In Our Haunted House

The late, great Andrew Gold was a highly honored and decorated
recording artist that did quite well for himself.
He was talented in many areas, I treasure his imagination the most.
It’s one thing to perform a piece it is quite another to create it.
He made an entire recording devoted to Halloween!
This is a very creative tune, lots to love about it…
