Today is Bill Hicks’ 50th birthday
It’s still a huge shame that someone as fantastically funny as Bill Hicks never received the recognition that he deserved. A man of talent, compassion, and enlightenment whose work had a profound affect on only a handful of the people he was trying to reach.
This is the trailer for the documentary about his life, American: The Bill Hicks Story. It’s on Netflix Instant and many other places. It’s beautifully animated and well told, with a lot of rare footage big fans probably have never seen before. Whether you are a comedian or not, there is something to learn from how hard this guy worked to entertain and enlighten.
