"Simply the funniest video on Earth" - Ken Leick, Austin Chronicle
If you've heard him, then you know it's true.
He used to rant about everything. He used to say, "it's the comedy of hate. Join me"
HE spoke often about bible thumpers which is maybe why I like him so much. Just kidding, but it would make a great addition to my site.
Tool did a tribute to him on Aenema, and had a painting of Bill hicks on the inside cover art.
I was just thinking about him earlier from a different post, and just wanted to come up with a small tribute. And to introduce him to those of you who don't know him.
Here is a small collection of links and quotes.
