It's true kids, Steve Martin used to be funny


You know what this is, kids? It's an 8 Track of Steve Martin's "Wild and Crazy Guy". Can you say 8 Track?... Back then Steve wasn't a bland, mainstream, big budget movie star. He was a stand up comedian who sold out concerts in Civic Centers and actually made people laugh.

I had this album and had the video taped off Showtime. There are so many hilarious moments from this show, although it might seem silly in this current era of comedy.
I love the part when, after putting his banjo down, he notices the shadow of the arrow-thru-the-head toy he's wearing, and walks up to the microphone saying "did I have this on the whole time? I must've looked like an idiot up here!"

I loved the part about his cat, dressed as him, walking into a bank.

A classic comedy record.

Also, Beastie Boys sampled that record like crazy on their "Cookie Puss" record.

Except...I have the vinyl version.
That's worth something, right?
