Comedian, social critic, satirist and musician Bill Hicks continually challenged society
by skewering its religions, politics, philosophies and personal issues.
His dark comedy often criticized consumerism, superficiality, mediocrity and banality

His quest to humorously enlighten the masses came to an end on this day
in 1994 due to pancreatic cancer. He was only 32.

I can quote Bill Hicks as well as evangelical Christians can quote the Bible. He is still sorely missed. He would have had a field day with all the crazy bullshit that's gone on in the last decade.
