Just watched his 'Revelations' set on bbc4.
Man that guy was sharp. Would love to see what material today's society would provide for him.
Sadly missed. |

At least this isn't a Bill Hicks vs Bill Hicks with bass thread. |

|  | THIS HAND OF MINE GLOWS WITH AN AWESOME POWER! | | Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: USA; Mitchellville, Maryland | | | Bill Hicks never struck me as really funny. It always seems like pretty straight forward social commentary with a little humor to break it up. Good for an awkward laugh or two. George Carlin, on the other hand, was flat-out hilarious.

I can't stand Carlin. He just seems to gripe about everything. |

Maybe it's me because I'm young or just me or whatever, but I don't want to watch a "comedian" stand up on stage for an hour or what have you and just complain about **** they don't like.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Indianapolis, Indiana | | | I think Hicks target audience was open minded (read potheads). I dig Carlin too, they we're basically the same comedian, just different deliveries. I see Kinison as being in the same boat. Just different degrees of profanity/dryness.
I also think most comedians are bitching about something, someway or another. |

This man was a genius, no doubt about it. The scary thing is that even his old stuff is still relevant today. Quote:

When interviewed on "Unmasked" on Sirius/XM, Carlin said he really liked Lewis' style Quote: |
