1960 or Look Forward in Anger

1960 or Look Forward in Anger is a live spoken-word and political satire stand-up comedy album by American comedian Mort Sahl, released on Verve Records in 1959. Recorded live in front of a nightclub audience, the album features Sahl in his trademark casual sweater holding a rolled-up newspaper while delivering intellectual, unscripted monologues satirizing Cold War tensions, the Eisenhower administration, and American societal hypocrisies. The release helped establish modern political stand-up comedy and preceded Sahl becoming the first comedian featured on the cover of Time magazine in 1960.
