NOTE TO ALL ROCK STARS OVER 40

Yeah, I have that somewhere in the annals of my collection of Bill Hicks videotapes and video clips and links...I used to be kind of obsessed with the man. Great great GREAT stuff. Have you seen him do the bit where he talks about Jimi Hendrix cutting 80's pop star Tiffany in half with his giant rock-star buzz-saw penis? So vicious, and so f---ing funny.

Oh man, no, I don't think I have seen that one but it's been a little while since I've watched his stuff. Sounds like classic Hicks! I actually laughed just reading your summary of it. I've seen at least 4 or 5 of the hour shows that have been released and a few random clips here and there. I wish I'd gotten to see him live.

There is quite a bit of his stuff over there at youtube which is great. They actually used to have more but it looks like some of it was taken down for some reason. Although there are a few listed that I haven't seen before so I am going to have to check this out.

Jim Dandy was Roths' prototype...

I've never had the pleasure of witnessing Mr. Mangrum but, Mick Jagger put the front in rock front man. Rock only now. Not blues or boogey woogey. (I just had a vision of Coleman Hawkins was it draped in feathers and bones and crawling on the floor screeching "I put a spell on you!"
Now he was a front man way, way back in the day.
