10 years ago this week, the 26th to be exact, bill hicks, secular saint, verbal destroyer of the devil’s minions here on earth, died of pancreatic cancer. a bunch of articles are popping up, looking into the man’s legacy and questioning why he has grown more and more popular each passing year. i for one wish he were still around. he would have been able to make the current state of affairs in this country funny. in any case here are two decent articles: the guardian and the bbc. to enjoy some of his material check these two previous posts: 1, and 2.
