Bill Hicks was a confrontational jackass. He was also a true comedic philosopher. His confessional offensiveness was meant to provoke (your) thought. While he only officially released two records (this being the first) before losing his battle with pancreatic cancer in 1994, he left behind a trove of still relevant material. See also the documentary American. Also, fans of Denis Leary should know how he basically made his name by stealing parts of his friends' act.
