Tornado Alley (PROG)

[fuagf]

F6, loved Lewis Black, he looked comfortable and i felt comfortable with him from the start, say A,
Bill Hicks, lol, almost passed to the last one then 7:26 hit, lol, "no worries" .. the population line was a
beaut .. heh, he could have thrown in, AND 'some of them are shit angry about an influx of boat refugees!'

Bill Hicks said truths, yet he sounded so damn hard, uncomfortable with life. I jumped to the last
and listened to the first bit, was thinking he is a good comedian, but hits things soooooo hard.

I was curious about the man and gee, it's sad, but now i understand ..

Cancer diagnosis and death

In April 1993, while touring in Australia, Hicks started complaining of pains in his side, and on June 16 of that year, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer that had spread to his liver.[16] He started receiving weekly chemotherapy, while still touring and also recording his album, Arizona Bay, with Kevin Booth. He was also working with comedian Fallon Woodland on a pilot episode of a new talk show, titled Counts of the Netherworld for Channel 4 at the time of his death. The budget and concept had been approved, and a pilot was filmed. The Counts of the Netherworld pilot was shown at the various Tenth Anniversary Tribute Night events around the world on February 26, 2004.

After being diagnosed with cancer, Hicks would often joke openly at performances exclaiming it would be his last. Hicks performed the actual final show of his career at Caroline's in New York on January 6, 1994. He moved back to his parents' house in Little Rock, Arkansas, shortly thereafter. He called his friends to say goodbye, before he stopped speaking on February 14[citation needed], and re-read J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Fellowship of the Ring.[17] He spent time with his parents, playing them the music he loved and showing them documentaries about his interests. He died of cancer in the presence of his parents at 11:20 p.m. on February 26, 1994.[18] Hicks was buried in the family plot in Leakesville, Mississippi.

On February 7, 1994, after his diagnosis with cancer, Hicks authored a short prayer on his perspective,
wishes and thanks of his of life, to be released after his death as his "last word",[16] ending with the words:
“

I left in love, in laughter, and in truth and wherever truth, love and laughter abide, I am there in spirit. ”
