Bill Hicks
I was very pleased to see this morning that a documentary made on the life and struggles of Bill Hicks has been released. Currently making it's way around the festival circuit. 'American' is set to be released theatrically released in England next month. Let's hope it gets a a good release in Australia.
Bill Hicks was a troubled, comic genius who thoroughly shook up the system, spitting in the face of group thinking and conservatism with his abrasive wit. He was known to have drug and alcohol troubles which would eventually lead to his early death.
Hicks has several DVD's and CD's available and for anyone who is inspired by challenging, politically incorrect comedy with a brain - these are recommended for you.
Here's the trailer

Love the man and this Doco looks like it is going to attempt to find some of the motivation for his work and persona.

Also - I love the way the trailer ends - really captures the true irony of the whole thing.
