When Lenny Bruce was alive, he had little success. Bill Hicks was in the same boat. Although he had become popular in the UK, he was a little too "out there" for our networks and media bigwigs to know what to do with. Here me now and believe me later: Bill Hicks was the greatest comic mind of our generation. A true comedian's comedian. He saw the stupidity of our society, the ignorance of our ways, and wove a tapestry of anger, cyniscism and hilarity that was simply too funny and too true to be put in a neat little marketable package. You doubt me??? buy this CD, and then buy Arizona Bay. Bill Hicks would be a household name today if cancer hadn't taken him out. What a loss. If only someone else could pick up where he left off.
