When I was first exposed to Bill Hicks, many years ago, i was blown away. Here is a man so alive, so angry, so observant, it instantly and permanently influenced me in ways nothing has since. I write about him today in recent release of the documentary American: The Bill Hicks Story, a captivating journey through the laughter and demons that made, and in some respects broke, his career. If you are not so familiar with his comedy, or indeed his philosophical retorts to our modern society, then my recommendations in seeing this film can not come highly enough.
I shall leave you with a short video of a wonderfully funny, yet undeniably poignant favourite of mine...
