Sully Bill Hicks all ya want. I know his close personal friends. I know his words.

If some guy makes some money for calling it like it is, oh well. If you don't like it, don't buy his cd's.

But maybe you could give something to the Bill Hicks Foundation for Wildlife...

You won't find any shot fish there.

The Bill Hicks Foundation for Wildlife is a non-profit organization of volunteers dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing orphaned, ill, and injured wildlife in and around the Texas Hill Country.

Now does anyone find the hypocracy of Clapton allowing Layla to be used for ringtones, after his stated reason for leaving the Yardbirds was because they were getting "to commerical" just amazingly hypocritical?

And they say irony is dead...

Oh, yesterday was the anniverary of Bill Hicks' death.

Furthermore...Apparently some people in high places had a high opinion of Bill Hicks.

"That this house notes with sadness the 10th anniversary of the death of Bill Hicks,
on February 26th 1994, at the age of 33; recalls his assertion that his words would be a
bullet in the heart of consumerism, capitalism and the American Dream; and mourns the
passing of one of the few people who may be mentioned as being worthy of inclusion with
Lenny Bruce in any list of unflinching and painfully honest political philosophers."
- Stephen Pound MP; Parliamentary House of Commons

House of Commons, not bad...

Comte de Guise: You have read Don Quixote?
Cyrano: I have. And found myself the hero.
de Guise: The chapter of The Windmills?
Cyrano: Chapter 13
de Guise: Windmills, if you tilt your lance with them, will cast you down into the mire!
Cyrano: or up... up into the stars...
