I've always enjoyed stand up comedy, the likes of Richard Pryor and Billy Connolly were always filling the house with laughter, as i took off in my own direction there would always be a place in my heart for goat boy. Bill Hicks born, December 16, 1961 – February 26, 1994, stand up comic with a savagely factual bite.
Hicks was born in Georgia in 1961. He worked his way around the US's stand-up comedy circuit in the late 70s and throughout the 80s. He was a star turn at the Comedy Workshop in Houston, Texas, at the age of 17, when he was still a high-school student by day
His misunderstood dark humor often pushed the boundaries right out to sea, His jokes included general discussions about society, religion, politics, philosophy and personal issues. Hicks' material was often deliberately controversial and steeped in venom and truth.
The world lost a bright light when he finally died of the one thing he always joked about. Just think, prophetic as his musings often would be, imagine what he would say about today's state of affairs.
Doesn't bare thinking about.
I salute you Bill Hicks
