Bill Hicks (“True Believer”)
— Criticizing organized religion was an obstacle to Bill’s entering the pop culture mainstream. He was recognized by Rolling Stone as the “HOT COMIC” in 1992, but he would never be the wacky neighbor on a network sitcom. Not that he ever wanted to be.
Bill Hicks (“Resurrected”)
— The year Jesus wore a mask. It was worth remembering that Bill had always preached for a separation of Church and State.
