American: The Bill Hicks Story
Sorry, I forgot who emailed me this…but thanks, and here ya go folks. I didn’t appreciate Bill Hicks when I was younger and saw his clips on Comedy Central’s “Stand Up, Stand Up,” but now of course I totally “get it,” as they say. I don’t think he’s nearly as funny as Carlin, but he’s definitely an interesting guy. (Watch out, naughty words in the trailer.)
I sent you that email, I actually find Bill Hicks to be a little funnier than Carlin. Carlin definitely had the more mainstream appeal, but I like Hick’s delivery better. They are very similar in their topics the talk about. They both had a libertarian slant even if they didn’t recognize it.
