William Melvin Hicks fué un comediante norteamericano, nacido el 16 de diciembre de 1961, en Valdosta, Georgia, y muerto el 26 de febrero de 1994, en cuyas rutinas incorporaba una real y ácida mirada hacia la sociedad en general, abarcando en su mayoría, temas políticos, como la guerra del Golfo, el uso de drogas alucinógenas, como hongos o ácido, sexo, el asesinato de Kennedy, lo cual posiblemente lo haga el único comediante en la historia en tratar dicho tema de una manera tan objetiva y real, y aún así, hacerlo gracioso, lo cual lo ha llevado a ser comparado con Lenny Bruce, aún mientras él estaba vivo.

Dentro de sus influencias, figuraban nombres como Richard Pryor, Lenny Bruce, Jimi Hendrix, Woody Allen y según fuentes, su libro favorito era «La conjura de los necios» de John Kennedy Toole.
Hicks se autodenominaba a sí mismo como «Chomsky with dick-jokes», arguyendo a su costado de crítico social, característica que se ha perdido dentro de la comedia, junto a su faceta obscenamente graciosa acerca de la sexualidad humana.
Fué víctima de censura por parte de las cadenas de televisión dentro de los Estados Unidos, dado que en el Reino Unido su material se transmitía sin editar, a través de la televisión pública. Más específicamente por parte de el «Late night with David Letterman», donde al momento de presentarse, se le informó que no podía bromear con chistes de inválidos, ni Jesús, ni aborto, ni Pro-Life, entre muchos más. Irónicamente «Pro-Life» era un movimiento politico-social que auspiciaba el programa de Letterman en la época, lo cual explica el por-qué de la censura.

    people take drugs all the time, aspirin, caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, ibuprofen to think that somehow certain substances are against the law is ridiculous. if a doctor writes a script for a drug, and nowadays any drug is pretty much available via a doctor, its perfectly legal but if some person sells it, its trafficking - its just a matter of money. i think hicks was more trying to point out that aspect of it, verses that the actual drugs and drug dealers are a better system.

    is the money the dealers and scum make from high school and college kids that allows them to buy guns that kill innocent people part of the "mind opening effect"? you never seem to mention it on your brainless arguments.

    "C'mon, everybody, let's be hypocritical bastards. It's okay to drink your drug. We meant those other drugs. Those untaxed drugs. Those are the ones that are bad for you."

    Nothing silly about talking about the positive effects of some drugs, which very few people does.. Pot, LSD, Mushrooms and DMT are all great drugs if used as directed (to quote Stanhope) and is easily connected to philosophy, art & free thinking cause of its mind opening effect they can have on you (especially DMT).. Pot can be a ambition killer though, seen it happen alot... Anyway, love you Bill.

    Back in those days, popular music was not just "all the rage" it was put on by very talented, unique and passionate people. People with heart and soul and expressed it through creativity. Sure there were some shitty ones, and I personally think Magma, Boredoms and Ruins should be in there. On a side note, the ideology of the smoking/cancer thing isn't too intellectual, just funny and offensive. He's a button pusher

    there's nothing wrong, but everyone was listening to those bands. stones were listened by the own teenage girls he criticized for liking cyrus or whatever at the time. it's not like he himself wasn't consuming whatever the labels were promoting. i didn't see him talk about true pioneer psychedelic bands. and there isn't a correct outlook in life because there is no universal moral code book. i do agree with him on a lot of subjects, but others i think are silly. the whole smoking vs health thing. the whole drugs are good for you and cure cancer attitude.

    you missed the point dude..and what the fuck is wrong with the stones or ac/dc or jimi hendrix? nothing is...the point is not only did they ROCK, but they rocked hard and partied like no fuckin tomorrow. now everyone's a bunch of generic disney born pussies. but besides, his music taste or rants on it aren't whats important. its his no fear attitude, his highly intelligent and CORRECT outlook on life and the world around us. You should watch American: The Bill Hicks Story. I guarantee you're judging on all the wrong reasons

    he wasn't that good and had a mediocre music taste for someone that complained that much about the current state of things. and he sounded like a 15 year old with the whole drugs thing.

    Bill Hicks was the single most intelligent, intellectual, honest, deep and though provoking man to walk this earth in hundreds of years. I devote my career to this man for the words he's shared with the world, and hope humanity is smart enough to open their eyes and ears for this brand of wisdom. If not for Bill, we'd be lost. You need to witness, pay attention, listen, and not just hear. If you don't respect and/or like Bill Hicks, there is something wrong with you. Grow the fuck up...or kill yourself. Please, seriously, the world can't use ignorant, senseless scum like you.

    50 year old Bill would've been a great chap to have around, I guess. To keep us, docile masses, sane. Happy birthday, Bill!

    I agree, any picture depicting smoking or drug use of any kind should be prohibited.

    What politicians did Bill support in life? I can't recall any. I don't think he'd feel any differently about today's politicians.
