The Timeless Wisdom of Bill Hicks
|William Melvin Hicks was a jack of all trades. He was a musician, comedian, satirist, and social critic. But what made him stand head and shoulders above his peers was the fact that he mastered every form of art he was good at. He liked to amuse people with his shocking sense of humor, and while very few people can pull this off, he had a lot flair and pizzazz. His fans loved him for it. After all, he’s one of the few men who made the great David Letterman do one that one thing he hardly does – apologize.
Pancreatic cancer claimed this man’s life but if he were alive today, we can only imagine what he has to say about the politicians that we have. He’ll surely put them in their place with his unique brand of humor. More importantly, he’ll make them blush because the man certainly has the gift of gab. He may not be with us right now, but we’re sure he’s making the angels laugh at his witty one-liners and shocking truths.
I think we just heard smokers rejoice at this line. Makes you think twice about telling the man next to you kill his cigarette!
Hey, at least he was honest, and he certainly wasn’t the biggest addict in the bunch.
Kinda makes us think about being a couch potato once again. Maybe we could get all our parents to take us back in and live life the way we want to.
This goes out to all the ladies who complain about their men wanting to get pleased all the time. If you didn’t do your job, maybe you’d also have to settle for Rosie Palmer and her 5 friends.
So stop praising yourself all the time. This goes out to all the politicians out there who like tooting their own horns.
Be who you are and be unapologetic! That’s what Bill did and he certainly succeeded at it. So what if you’re rough around the edges? That’s how you roll, right?
‘Nuff said! Life should have more rewards!
Yup, we hate to admit it, but we all like to laugh at the mistakes of others. That is, until we’re in the receiving end of the joke.
It ain’t easy being funny, but Bill certainly pulled it off just fine.
Just takes us back to those days when we spaced out while attending a long lecture. But maybe women priests might do well. They’ll simply have to nag our ear off!
Those who say that money can’t buy you happiness certainly don’t have money.
Maybe he should’ve kept the stash of porn hidden in his friend’s house. It’s the perfect way to cover his ass and his friend will take all the blame. This is, by far, the smarter move!
Nothing like seeing the world in pot goggles! We’re not lazy. Pot just made us realize that there are better things to do than worry – like staring into space, for one thing.
Right there with you, Bill! Take action instead of just showing off!

That second one isn’t a photo of Bill Hicks. It’s Chas Early, who played Bill in the one man-show “Bill Hicks: Slight Return” in 2005.
