Bill Hicks: bridged the gap between Lenny Bruce and Stephen Colbert


Some of the best advice is spray painted on walls. I couldn't agree more with this idea.

If you're willing to take advice from a wall (and me) here's a good start, and here's part II of a good start. I haven't been able to find the rest of this documentary (called Totally Bill Hicks), but I'm sure someone is willing to sell it to you. YouTube has no shortage of clips from Bill's stand-up routines and talk show visits. One of my favorites is this interview in the UK. It's short but insightful, and I love his closing line.
