A Wrong Righted (Bill Hicks & David Letterman)

[SeanMacGabhann]

Arguably 15 years too late, but the much talked-about set which Letterman pulled, and motivated Hicks to write a 16 page hand-written letter finally aired on the Letterman show last week, along with an interview with his mother Mary

Bill Hicks' final Letterman routine

It comes in 3 segments which play sequentially - the third segment has the routine but the interview with his mum is worth watching

Thanks so much for this link, I adored Bill Hicks so much.

But I do agree; the advertising companies probably put way more pressure on Letterman than he would ever dare admit.

He was a fantastic comedian, I remember seeing his Iraq routine,

"As soon as the cheque clears were going in"

"USA 135Thoooouuuuusssssaaaaaannnndddd, Iraq 79"........

Thank you Sean. Bill Hicks still inspires today. We need more people like him around.
