Just realized, tonight, that the cable channel Trio is running a month-long series on controversial comedians. Streaming video is available here, although when I went there I kept getting a server error and didn't get to see what I wanted to see--Bill Hicks.
In fact, that's how I found out about the series: tonight's program was on Bill Hicks. Hicks was far too lefty for my taste, but I liked his edginess. He was observant and intelligent and funny, as when he spoke of audiences looking at him "like a dog who's just been shown a card trick."
Best line: "Carrot Top--for people who didn't "get" Gallagher."
