Album · 1960 · 2 Songs. Great Moments In Comedy With Mort Sahl. The Future Lies Ahead. 1960 Or Look Forward In Anger.
Mort Sahl's sharp wit had already skewered many a political figure before the start of the primaries and presidential election in 1960, but if people thought that they had a firm grip on Sahl's politics, they may have been a bit surprised by this album. Those who assumed he was pro-Kennedy may have been the most surprised, as Sahl starts taking potshots in earnest at the man who would eventually win the election, a stance that ended up alienating much of Sahl's audience.

Mort Sahl was among the first, if not the first, to incorporate political satire into his stand-up act. People like Lenny Bruce, Dick Gregory and George Carlin all followed the path that he cut. There were other political comedians before Sahl, of course - Will Rogers being the most obvious, but he worked with the printed word, movies and on radio, not stand-up comedy in clubs. In the ARChive window at the moment is the cover of Sahl’s The Next President LP. No, he was not running for president, but instead he pokes fun at the two candidates who were running in 1960: Richard Nixon and John Kennedy. On the album, he is a bipartisan fun poker. His humor isn’t harsh and actually seems rather tame according to today’s political humorists, so it seems like a breath of fresh air. Which leads to the question, Where is Mort Sahl now that we really need him?
