It occurred to me right then when I saw the A & E program. I didn't have a clue that Hicks had talked about the Waco issue until a recent web search. The web site I cited in my previous post has a Waco video for sale. The desscription reads: "Six years later and this topic is hotter than ever. Join Bill and Kevin for an entertaining half hour as they sneak past DPS check points and join the press pool on the 7th day of the Siege. Write me and I'll add a homemade documentary the tank flame thrower footage came from." Caption: "At Austin Access several Branch Davidian survivors still try to tell their side of the story."

Hicks' sudden death followed his NBC censorship fracas by only a few weeks. It is as if he was spotted as a loose cannon, someone who could not be counted on to alter his material (he talked about Waco, among other things) on national tv, so in a preemptive strike he was gotten rid of before he could make a lot more trouble later--and be a lot more difficult to get rid of once he had crossed over from night clubs to tv.

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. http://www.eden.com/sacredcow/Hicksw.html">The Bill Hicks Page http://www.eden.com/sacredcow/Hicksw.html Samantha DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
