    One of my biggest regrets in life was passing on an opportunity to see him perform. A friend had some tickets and invited me, but I wasn’t able to get the day off work. “I’ll catch him when he tours again next year”, I thought. He died later that year.

      I saw him in Marquette, Michigan in the early 90s. The only thing I remember about the performance was “don’t call Natives ‘Native Americans’. America sucks. Just call them Indians.”

      Marquette’s pretty much the backwater of Michigan, he must have been working on new material.

      I saw him, but he clearly had a cold so he was really off his game. It was still funny, but I wish I could have seen him when he wasn’t feeling like crap.
