Bill Hicks is considered by many inside and out of the comedy world as one of the greatest standup comedians who ever lived. Hicks started performing standup at the age of 19 and was immediately recognized as a dangerous comedian who attacked such sacred cows as the American dream, hypocritical beliefs and traditional attitudes to the point where two Vietnam veterans broke his leg after a show. Sadly just when Hicks was hitting his stride he died at age 32 of pancreatic cancer.
you said it right, dude. listen to his stuff on reagan and bush sr administration ....eerily applies ( to a fuckin tee) to whats happening today.
a comedian's comedian.
Bill Hicks was really the best comedian ever. I have almost all of his cds. Nobody had his style or dedication to what he really believed in. He said what he meant and I'm sure lots of people didn't like what he had to say. Somebody else on here said that we need him now more than ever and I agree.
Bill was the chosen one - the second coming of Christ.

Oh, Bill. We need you now more than ever.
Have truer words ever been spoken? Not ever, I say.
I wish I believed in god, so I could think that Bill was still looking down at us to this day. I miss his presence so much.
"A young kid on acid today realized that all matter is energy reduced to a slow vibration and that mankind is just a single consciousness experiencing itself repeatedly, life is only a dream, and we're the imagination of ourselves.
Here's Tom with the weather."
Thank you, Jeff Rougvie for allowing so much of the world to experience the magic of Bill Hicks, and thank you SG and DRE, so very much, for focusing today on Bill and Jeff.
Thank you Mr. Rougvie for geving us more Hicks. I don't think a day goes by that I don't either quote or paraphrase BIll. Becuase I couldn't possibly think of that shit myself.

I am so obsessed with bill hicks its pathetic I have searched far and wide over and over for every new tidbit of bill and Im glad to see theres more coming from his archives.
I hope that when we all die we can chill with bill in heaven, It is my only wish for the afterlife.
"Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves."
Arizona Bay is questionable. Bill Hicks is great. Do more drugs, or don't.
