"Never before seen comedy from Bill Hicks" -- coming up on Letterman tonight. |
|
Sorry, I was only half listening -- one of Letterman's guests tonight is Mary Hicks. No idea who this is. But the next thing I hear is something about Bill Hicks -- so, I guess Mary Hicks is perhaps connected to Bill?
Sorry for not knowing more. This is just a heads up for those who might want to tune in.

2. Thank you so much! I knew there had to be some major background about this, but I didn't know what. |

I didn't own a TV through most of the 70s and 80s. By the early 90s I was struggling to survive in rural Alaska. I was totally unaware of Bill Hicks until years after his death, I only ever heard about him through the internets, which I first plugged into in December 1999.
Thanks so much for the background! Yaaaay for Mary Hicks!
