This guy was way ahead of his time. If you are unfamiliar with him, look up some of his bits, great stuff.

1. I had no idea anyone was doing this.
Hicks was brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

Thanks for posting this - now on my list for the summer.

3. Neither did I. It's about time, though
Bill Hicks, like George Carlin and a couple of others, was enlightened.

If you want to listen to what enlightenment in this country sounds like, you need to listen to comedians, not religious figures.
