The Resurrection
EASTER 2020
The Year Jesus Wore A Mask
Of course my old friend Bill Hicks is still dead, but his voice is sure to live forever, and it will always ring true. Bill is an unforgettable character in comedy history. Alongside Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, and Richard Pryor, Bill was passionate, opinionated, and a viciously funny Advocate for Truth.

A Bill Hicks biography (film), the first after his death, including interviews with Jay Leno, David Letterman, and many other comedians, family, and friends. YouTube won’t allow Bill to be posted, so you have to step out into the shitstorm to see it.

 

In this mix, there are a number of Bill’s favorite “Christian” bits, combined with reverent (sometimes irreverent) tunes by some of his favorite musicians and friends. After Bill’s Holy Trinity (Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, and Elvis Presley), there’s Nirvana, Suicidal Tendencies, King Missile, and Tool, who’s front man, Maynard James Keenan, eulogized Bill on the band’s 1993 album, AEnima.
