The only other comedians I'd put in that category (and none as good as
Hicks) would be George Carlin, and lately, Joe Rogan, who's a surprising
find actually.

PS: I haven't watched this in ages so apologies if it sucks, but from memory
it's pretty cool.

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.
