I wasn't even alive when he was around but I've become a really big fan in the last couple of years.



RIP Bill. Let's take some time to remember one of the greatest comedians the world has ever seen.

    he was the man, we could do with his sort of insight in this day and age.

    I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.

    Saw him twice in 1992 when he toured Brittain. I travelled to Burslem near Stoke and Sheffield - the Manchester date was sold out. He was an amazing performer. That said, I'm old and a parent now and find his promotion of drug use wildly irresponsible with the benefit of hindsight. A great talent, even if I don't necessarily agree with everything he stood for. But unlike the Michael McIntyres of this world, he DID stand for something....

    Bill Hicks was hilarious and a very intelligent man, he talked a lot of sense.


    Legend.
    And they said that in our time, all that's good will fall from grace, even Saints would turn their face, in our time.

    Good to see the young kids of today appreciate the great man! I find myself quoting him in some way every other day.

    Total god amongst men I never got the chance to see him as I was 14 when he died. There was very little he said I ever really disagreed with.

    Never been a fan personally, but he definitely went way too young.

    Watched a few of his vids last summer after seeing him on TV first time around.

    The vid of one of his last LA gigs is near perfect.

    I know what he'd have made of Cameron: " Cameron sucks Satan's cock".
