[kj] OT: Bill Hicks

[Bette Dillinger]

Thank you, I will check all of them out.  I know that some will disagree with me, but that being admitted, I think that the death of Bill Hicks exacerbated the la la land Miley Cyrus vacuum we are living in now in the US.  
 
I mean, can you remember the first time you saw certain acts or heard them?  They are a select few.  Only the really genuine ones make that kind of impact.  And oh yeah, I know someone would remember Striper if they woke up to them after a hangover, but that ain't what I'm saying, natch.

Mark Thomas is good, as is Rob (or does he call himself Robert these days?) Newman

I am currently enjoying a lot of what Tim Minchin is doing, not exactly in the same political vein but very funny all the same

Hey everyone!    Strange, angering, yet I am still gonna try to catch it.  In the US David Letterman will be showing on Friday, the 30th, 11:30 EST the routine of Bill Hicks' that was never aired by Letterman in 1994 because it was considered too "controversial".  The routine that sullied his relationship with the media to a degree.   His mother Mary will also be a guest (the irony that the legal executor of the estate is the ex attorney for Billy Ray Cyrus, but then you can't make this shit up.).........Damn, it has been 14 years!  Are there any comedians that are flying under the radar that should be checked out?  I am still looking for one whose voice is so resonant with truth and humour. Bette
