Remembering Bill Hicks, 30 Years Later (Part 1)
Feb. 26 marked 30 years since Bill Hicks passed away.
Bill was a friend of mine back in the 80s/90s, and I hosted a live X Space Monday night in his honor.
Thought it might be fun to sit around the virtual campfire, tell some jokes, share some memories, and celebrate Bill’s life.
We played some clips of his best comedy bits, talked about all the amazing things Hicks accomplished in his short 32 years, and wonder what else he might have created had he lived 30 more.
Of course we couldn't refrain from some speculation about what Bill Hicks would think of our world today. His observations three decades ago are still remarkably relevant, and nearly all of the problems our country faced then still haven't been solved. (In fact, they've gotten worse!)
In Part 1, we hear Bill talk about the War on Drugs, alcoholism, smoking, wars for oil abroad, censorship, the Waco siege of 1993, the hassles of flying, the high cost of living, and the dumbing down of our society.
The anti-intellectualism Bill talked about in 1989’s “Sane Man” comedy special was just a joke then….or was it?
35 years later, we aren’t laughing anymore. Did Bill have a crystal ball or what?
Did he have a time machine; or was he an alien who was visiting our planet only for 32 years, before the spaceship picked him up and took him home?
We talked about all that and more.
If you missed this three-hour comedy special live, catch the premiere of Part 1 tonight at 8 PM Eastern.
Part 2 premieres Wednesday, Feb. 28 at 8 PM Eastern.
Join us for a night of love, laughter, and truth!
