I hope Alex will throw a comedian into the mix as well. Bill Hicks --
dead of pancreatic cancer at age 32. He did a great
"USA-as-a-totalitarian-government" routine and that's just the tip of the
iceberg. I first saw him on HBO from the Palladium Theatre in London.
His theory was that life is Just a Ride. You can approach it with either
fear or love. Near the end of the show, he remarks that every now and then,
someone comes along to remind us of this and what do we do? We KILL those
people. The picture of Bill fades out and we see a gun, then hear a gunshot.
Fade back in to the picture of Bill, and you see him falling dead on the
stage.
I looked for him after that and the next time I saw him referred to on
television, it was on A & E. It was a post-mortem -- maybe two years later.
Letterman, for one, expressed his regrets at not having Bill on the show more
often. Bill wouldn't alter his material for Letterman so he was rejected.
I'm the only one I know of who is suspicious about Bill's death. The
pancreatic cancer reminded me of what Jack Ruby alleged -- that he had been
injected with liver cancer cells.
