Default Bill Hicks

Any other Bill Hicks fans out there? By far the best and most accessible comedian/philosopher to walk the earth imo... I have a huge poster of him on my wall

Relentless is brilliant and I've listened to a bit of Rant in E Minor. Bill Hicks is awesome. Does anyone know any comedians like him?

"People suck, and that's my contention. I can prove it on a scratch of paper with a pen. Give me a ****ing Etch-a-sketch, I'll do it in three minutes. The proof, the fact, the factorum. I'll show my work, case closed. I'm tired of this back-slapping "aren't humanity neat?" bull****. We're a virus with shoes, okay?"

Well, older curmudgeony Carlin was very similar but I'd bet you already knew that as he was very famous.

yeah rant in e minor's cool... the recordings are from after he was diagnosed with cancer so he knew he was dying at the time it was recorded, thats why it's an intense album

I love what he said about the pro life anti abortionists:

"Instead of blocking med clinics, link arms and block cemeteries. Let's see how f*cking committed you are!"

Bill Hicks was hilarious. Sadly, he died way too young (died in his early 30s of cancer).

I dunno...philosopher is a bit a stretch, but he was a damn good comedian I liked a lot of his stuff, and then some of it not so much.
