Comedian Bill Hicks Rediscovered

Please proceed with caution. Visitors with no sense of humor are advised to turn back now. Management is not responsible for damage to feelings.

After Bill's death in 1994 it was hard to find accounts and Youtubes of his work online, but now there are many newly polished pieces. Just Google - William Melvin "Bill" Hicks was an American stand-up comedian, social critic, satirist, and musician.
Quotable "Listen, the next revolution is gonna be a revolution of ideas. A bloodless revolution. And if I can take part in it by transforming my own consciousness, then someone else's, I'm happy to do it." 
On the news "Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather."

Within that little gem he had connected with us, taken us on a ride there, using words economically to help us imagine a picture in our heads. It lasts a lifetime; each pocket of one consciousness he opens.
