Bill Hicks

Bill Hicks was the last great social satirist, the true descendent of comedians like Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor. His work confronted the hypocrisies of late-20th century American life, divining comedy from the more evil impulses of the government and the mass media while assaulting the soullessness of mainstream culture. A longtime substance abuser, Hicks' monologues addressed issues of expanded consciousness and spirituality rare to the comedy format; for all of the rage inherent in his standup, his message was one of transcendence -- as he frequently reminded audiences, "The truth will set you free." Hicks died on February 26, 1994 of pancreatic cancer at the age of 32. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

oh my god with Bill so far ahead of his time when I first started hearing him honestly thought he was a comedian today until I realized that he was talking about Clinton not Obama this man could see the future in crystal crystal clear clarity.
Fevered Egos. How about a fevered spirit based mind and life instead of a fevered ego? The ego is insane. A fevered spirit based mind and life would crush the fevered ego. This is funny though.
Talking Cars. This is a joke about Presidents having control over jails in this country. Guess what? No President has anything to do with Jails in this country. All they do is sign for a bill or something. They don't actually pass it. We do.
Waco. that's Phillip's middle name. Phillip Vernon Goodrich aka Jesse Littlehorse. The one that tried to kill me. So ugly. But this one sounds like him a bit. I love some of Bill Hicks comedy.
love his ideas. the best of america!!!
Gifts of Forgiveness. What he says in this portion of his comedy show about us being eternal beings and God having nothing but all encompassing love for us and there's nothing we can do to change that. It's only our Illusions that make us believe otherwise. THAT MY FRIEND IS the truth. This is what I found out when I died and came back to life.
Wow. 19 years today. Sad...

Bill is blessed to be beyond the disappointme n t that has become society today. Can you imagine what he would say about the past decade? We need to remember the painful truths that he shoved in our ignorant faces and be thankful for his message.
this guy is doing God's work
Bill ....we miss you man....all we got are thievs
Carlin and Hicks were prophets of logic and understandin g .
Wish I could've seen Bill Hicks live. He must've been awesome.
The reason they says he was the LAST great social satirist, is because Carlin came BEFORE him...
The Beezlebozo track off of Relentless was obviously stolen by The Wayans Brothers for Homey The Clown. Another example of Hicks getting his material robbed by someone who was out to make a buck. Yeah, I'm talking to you Denis Leary
Hicks is freaking God

I've met a Gideon before. His name was James and he was handing out bibles at Grays Harbor College in Aberdeen. He had someone else with him and they were legitimate Gideons. It was the first time ever in my life I met a Gideon. Wow.
I find it wonderful how he mixed his social satire with harmonious music, especially on Arizona Bay...
I like Hicks better than Carlin it's all a matter of opinion

Last great social satirist? So I guess Carlin is just a wet pile of dog turds huh? Hicks is great and all, but he's still #2 to Carlin. Carlin is the superior performer, with a better stage presence and tighter routines.
Bill was and remains the man!

What a great talent he had for delivering the message of social injustice in America with a strong sense of humor.
Comics like this are a rare breed and you will hear many popular comics today pay homage to Bill for his disturbing funny social commentary and for not giving a sh*t what the audience thought. He was pure genius and bravery. I had the chance to see him shortly before his death in Walnut Creek, CA at the Punchline. He got booed off the stage at the end but I thought he was brilliant. I GOT him! It was my first introduction to him and I will never forget it and the empathy I felt for him.
Bill Hicks + George Carlin = The conscience of America is so very true..

William Kevin Miller is a tool.
Still making us laugh :
william kevin miller... no sense of humor
Ah Mister Hicks, we will miss you.
GENIUS
The one person we need the most in our times, is gone.....
Bill would have dropped dead anyway if he lived past the year 2000. He is the greatest and still one of the most relevant. I wish he could be here to comment on things like texting and the Jonas brothers, not to mention the internet and the state of our government. But we can all take a guess on how great it would be. RIP Bill, a man before his time.
Then you are completely and postitvely missing the point of what BILL HICKS was all about WILLIAM KEVIN MILLER.

He was too real for you.

His comedy is all about SOCIAL COMMENTARY. And guess what smart guy....the state of our "society" is in bad, bad shape and has been steadily declining for a long time. Bill just saw it, lived it and felt it on a truly deep level finding the horror and the humor in it. He was genius and a gifted soul that mankind really needs, especially now.
Seemed to me a miserable person, never happy with anything...
He left way too soon...
Mr. Hicks was far beyond his time, a true prophet and philosopher.
If only he knew Billy Cyrus would have a child that would exemplify everything he hated about pop culture lol.
Hicks was definately amazing. I would love to hear what he'd have to save about the world we live in today.
This man had it right. Humanity lost a bit of it's conscience when we lost him
