Title: Bill Hicks: Another Dead Hero
Review: I really can't quite describe how funny Bill Hicks is. He is not a comedian in the Jerry Seinfeld/Tim Allen vein. He has IDEAS. Most comics talk about their parents and husbands or wives. Bill Hicks talked about his ideas, his perspective. He was crude and obscene to be sure, but he was also smart and perceptive. This CD is a good place to start if you have never heard of Hicks. Smoking, The War in Drugs, Modern Bummer, and Burning Issues are arguably the pick of the litter. I Love My Job gets a bit rough, but that was the point. It's a shame that Denis Leary appropriated some of Hicks' best bits and got famous. This CD is worth getting, the only drawback is once you get it you are going to want to buy Arizona Bay, Relentless, and Rant in E-Minor. Enjoy!
