"We understand that some people would like to host tribute events for the tenth anniversary
of Bill's death. This is okay under the sole condition that any such events are free will
benefits--that is, there should not be an admission fee and there should be a box or jar near the
stage or screen (not at the door) where people can donate to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
or your local cancer research charity, as you prefer. If you want to publicize your event here
or if you hear about an event that does not have free admission, please contact us at
[email protected]. If you'd like to make a donation directly to St. Jude, please go to www.stjude.org.

Thank you for your remembrances.
--Mary Reese Hicks, on behalf of her son and his
family."

May I suggest that ALL those with an ARS Sig (including me) donate today's sig earnings to St Judes hospital.

I'm a huge Bill Hicks fan. I think the funniest thing he did was the HBO special "Revelations". I almost stopped breathing from laughing so hard. His take on JFK and the second coming of Jesus had me in hysterics.

I'm not an ARS sig whore, but I'll do this

RIP Bill.

Someone send me a heroic dose in his name.

Wintertime in Florida is a harsh mushtress.

Who the hell is Bill Hicks?

His bit about Rush Limbaugh being a "turn muncher" was so fucking hilarious that I had to pull over.

Bill Hicks was WAY ahead of his time.

Way too lazy. Just give me the Cliff's Notes version about why I should care about this guy.

No reason to care about him but if you enjoy listening to standup comedy the guy was quite amazing. I am an extremely openminded person and he is one of the few comics to ever make me squirm... but think. Hard to really describe him in so few words, kinda proudly cynical agnostic but as philosophical as the most master poet and quite intense at times. Definitely one of a kind in the Kinneson sort of way.

He died of pancreatic cancer at 32 waay before his star peaked.
If you ever get the chance to rent/buy/borrow/steal one of his complete concert videos you are in for an experience you won't soon forget, even if you don't appreciate his humor. There's some audio and video on his website http://www.billhicks.com and I've seen some of his tracks floating around Kazaa. Definitely a voice we could use today.
