Yeah, I have that on one of my Hicks dvd's. He was a funny fella, but I get really tired of that cheesy all black long riders type look. That was tired even when Fields of the Nephilim did it... Still, funny stuff...

I would like to take this moment to recoment that everyone get a copy of Julia Sweeney's "Letting Go of God" cd. Truly great. As far as I know it's available only through her website...

Bill Hicks' last interview in 1994 talking about his segment on David Letterman that had just been edited out because he spoke about organized religion and Jesus.

I'll watch the videos when I get home, but I'd just like to second the Julia Sweeney recommendation. It was only available from her website for a while, but I eventually found it on the Skeptic website here:
https://www.skeptic.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Session_ID=ad8120a08a11f515071e24c87290a73f&Screen=PROD&Store_Code=SS&Product_Code=av565CD&Category_Code=E

Looking now, it seems to be available at several places (try googling "julia sweeney letting go of god cart" to find shopping sites), including from audible.com (as a cheaper digital download - $11.95 for the 2 hour show!). So now there are several options for people who aren't in the U.S.

That bit was from his Revelations show in Edingburrow (where a big anual comedy festifal is held) iirc. Mr. 'I go through two lighter a day'had quit smoking by then, and started the show off by commenting how every cigarette now looks like it was rolled by Jesus and moistened shut with Claudia Schifer's pussylips.

Oh, I just noticed Letting Go of God is also available from iTunes, along with the rest of audible.com's stuff, including The God Delusion. I didn't buy it, because I already have too many books, and I don't want to get a bunch more that I know I'm gonna want to someday ship back to the U.S., but I'll definitely get the cheap digital audiobook version (and it's unabridged!).

Edit: Oh man, apparently The God Delusion is not yet on Japanese iTunes, though The End of Faith and Letter to a Christian Nation both are (but they're not cheap! - 2400 yen for The End of Faith!).

The thought of Bill Hicks alive today is an interesting one. Would he like, implode?

CET, Hicks first brings up the Letterman issue within the first 15 minutes, but it comes up throughout the show.

I only had a few minutes to look at it last night, so I guess I just didn't get far enough into it.
