Happy Birthday Bill Hicks!

I'm a huge fan of comedians. And beyond that, I respect comedians probably more than anyone else in the show business. They are up on stage alone, armed with nothing but their balls and wits. And NOBODY in the comedy game had bigger balls than Bill Hicks.

If he faced a hostile crowd, he didn't back down. He didn't tell a joke that he knew got huge laughs worldwide. The dude went into attack mode. He became a living, breathing ball of hate and hostility. Yet, somehow, he managed to get booked in the same bars and clubs over and over and over again. That should speak VOLUMES about how brilliant the guy was.

And with today December 16th, being Bill's birthday I think we should celebrate. Here are some of my favorite moments from one of the most intelligent and inspiring comedians of all time. Enjoy.
