This isn't an amazingly new relevation or anything it's just that I watched Totally Bill Hicks the other night and thought he deserved a thread. Man, he's fucking great and he speaks the truth, but you all know that anyway.

Bill Hicks was one of the most important voices. I am so sad he is gone. We need people like him right now. That live show is just fucking legendary isn't it. "Send in Vanilla Ice."

I SAW HICKS AT DE MONTFORD UNIVERSITY. can't remember what year, i was drinking a lot at the time, but i remember coming in so late from the bar that there were no seats left and i had to sit in the aisle on the floor. hardcore... It was just after the LA riots whenever that was.

Honestly, if you want to see Hicks at his best then buy or download some of the bootlegs on Kazaa etc. I bought a copy of Sane Man and it's truly wonderful to see him improvising with a home crowd. On a totally different level is one bootleg taken from a gig he performed at the Funny Firm in 1989. It's mentioned in the Hicks biography 'American Scream'. Basically there are some pissed up members of the audience who are drunk and hurl nothing insults at Hicks. it's the ultimate bad audience for a comedian and it's fantastic to see him battling this one woman in particular. There's some really good bootlegs online, the visual quality isn't the best but it's seriously funny stuff.

The Maw strongly approves of Hicks, Fellalady creature.
He is now immortal and has been accorded a special place of his own, a comfortably furnished apartment within the darkest depths of the Maw.
There he smokes too much and lambasts shit groups as they are oh-so-slowly digested, their eons-long screaming and gurgling mixing with his curses and righteous wrath.
Very good for the digestion.
