Description I first starting listening to Bill Hicks when I was at University. A friend gave me a copy of his old work. This was in 2003, nine years after his death of pancreatic cancer.

In many ways, Bill became more than just someone who made me laugh when I was going through rough times. He was more than a comedian. He was a wise man of sorts, a social philosopher and helped me construct my own personal politics and philosophies about life.

I wish I had been old enough to see one of his shows. And in this new generation where much of what he said is repeating itself, we need more people like him.

I miss you mate.

I always will.

William Melvin Hicks (1961-1994)

I used to try and come up with a way to describe who Bill was and what he did, and the way you wrote it - I couldn't have said it any better. I was born in '89 and I also wish I could have seen him live. It's nice to see there are minds out there who appreciate the people like Bill. RIP!

He was yelling at the top of his lungs when most comedians were to afraid to even speak.

It's good to see someone who sees Hicks as so much more than a comedian and sharp social critic. He's an inspiration.
