OK, so I'm reading Peter Carey's "His Illegal Self" and its about 60's radicals, among other things, and Carey is throwing in real names with fictional names. Well, when I read I like to google things in the book and find out if they're real, etc. One name mentioned was Bill Hicks, so I googled it. Turns out he's a famous (and dead) comic. Should have none that. And of course, it lead me to You Tube. And then good ole Sam Kinison popped into my head. For those of you that are still cutting your teeth, you probably won't remember this genius. Of course, you've seen him in "Back To School." But aside from that, this guy was the shit back in the 80's. And then, completely out of nowhere, he dies in a car crash. And we lost a great one.
