Title: not your typical comedy
Review: I just noticed a review by someone else of this CD who claimed it was just "not funny". I've heard friends of mine say this after I've played Hicks for them too. It strikes me as odd and I think that the problem is Bill's comedy isn't your run of the mill "whats the deal with airline food" or "black people are this way and white people are this way and it's funny" type of comedy. I personally don't enjoy Hicks because he makes me gut-laugh until tears are in my eyes. What I think is Bill's true strength is coming up with comedy is that he always struck me as someone who couldn't do anything else. When I hear his CD's I don't hear someone up there who just jumps into their routine by saying "so....black people" or what have you. He seems like someone who genuinely has something to get across, and isn't just trying to be funny. He's trying to make people see. See what? I don't even think he knew what, but it was there nonetheless...
Is the review positive or negative?
