I prefer the cut from the Philosophy compilation. The timing and presentation are fantastic. Plus you have to use your imagination with the audio. I like that a lot.
Then again, I’m a reader.
I bought a Bill Hicks DVD from Best Buy with a few of his sets, this one included. One of my favorite comedians.
My. Favorite. Comedian. Ever.
In his own words, “Chomsky with Dick Jokes”.
All I can say about Hicks is its a good thing he died before he sucked real bad.
I picked up Rant in E-Minor and Arizona Bay (where this routine is located, if anybody liked it and hasn’t heard him before). So I finally see why comedians and fans talk about the guy this way - he did some difficult, inspiring and powerful comedy.
