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 2, we hear Bill talking about the #JFK assassination, government conspiracies and cover-ups, lying politicians, gays in the military, and many more problems that we, as a society, still grapple with 30 years later.
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 Part 1 tonight at 8 PM Eastern.
UPDATE: YouTube CENSORED and removed Part 1! Watch it UNCENSORED on Rumble here.
Part 2 was also CENSORED by YouTube. You can watch it exclusively on Rumble.
Just goes to show that even 30 years after his death, corporate America still isn’t ready for Bill Hicks! He’s still being censored from beyond the grave.
