This is the beginning of the 2022 Holidaze Season, It starts with Halloween and it will end ends with New Years Day 2023.
Years ago, circa the late eighties, I had just been hired as the youngest executive at SIN, what later became UNIVISION.
I recall moving across the country to California and thinking I was going to spend the holidays alone, so I took a walk along the Sunset strip in Hollywood. People of different faiths shouldn’t have to miss important work events to celebrate their holidays.
Anyway, I was stopped by a club promoter who invited me to enter a spooky place... The Comedy Store is rumored to be haunted. So i went ghost hunting. The Sunset Strip club is known for two things: launching the careers of such comedians as Richard Pryor, Jay Leno and Roseanne Barr and scaring the bejesus out of countless performers and patrons during its half-century run.
Legend has it that the place was used to extort, torture and kill those who crossed the mob, and the spirits of those unlucky victims still haunt the place today.
Anyway, as I was preparing to exit the club, this individual recommended I stay a little longer for a big surprise. Eddie was trying out his stand-up routine for what was to become his RAW performance. LANGUAGE WARNING
