A buddy who was in a Hollywood metal band around '93 that never went anywhere (I did their promo album art, maybe that explains it) knew Blotzer. What he told me was Bobby fully expected his band to drop off the map at any time, that they were one flop album away from getting booted off their label so he was investing his money in several LA area laudromats. I dunno if that was true or if he's now the Laundry King of LA, but I always thought that was funny for some reason.jptm wrote:also, re:that show... I remember standing in the beer line before the show, and I notice that in front of me is one of the guys from Ratt---I go "hey, your the bass player in Ratt, right?". and he looks at me kinda pissed-off like and goes, "naw, dude---I'm the drummer." It was Bobbly Blotzer... he ended up talking to me for a few moments, telling me that Sam was gonna blow my mind...
Yeah, Kinison on Stern was always radio gold. I was recently listening Stern's old "Banned By The FCC" cd set and there's a bit with Kinison arguing with Jessica Hahn and it's brutal as fuck but funnier than hell at the same time.jptm wrote: He was the best guest on Stern; period. His fight with him, the make-up, it was all gold.
I really miss Sam. He was a truly one-of-a-kind comedian; unstoppable at his peak.
