Cultural Commentary :: Bill Hicks - The Point of Life

Here is an unmistakable example of Bill Hicks (1961 - '94).. the self-described "Chomsky with dick jokes":

Samples of Bill Hicks' performances have shown up in all sorts of artistic arrangements created by many artists including Super Furry Animals and Tool. Radiohead dedicated The Bends (1995) to his behalf and Tom Waits named Hicks' Rant in E Minor (1997) as one of his 20 most cherished albums of all time.

Currently there is news floating around that Ron Howard and Russell Crowe (who would play Hicks) are working on a film about Bill Hicks' life and career.
