    I've watched a few interviews with Bill Hicks with British chat show hosts, and it's so good to see Bill actually enjoying himself with Clive. He doesn't often laugh at other peoples jokes. This made me very happy. Bill Hicks was deeply loved in the UK.

      ​@@waylamer1 I used to see Bill Hicks as a role model, but time went by and I realised he had a wrong perspective in life. He talked about how better the world would be without people whom he considered 'scum' (arrogance?) but he himself failed to transform his own troubled emotions and thoughts into something positive. Instead he developed self harming habits like heavy smoking and drinking, which clearly contributed to his early death. He was definitely an extraordinary human being but he has nothing to do with the enlightened person some people think he was.

The self dies and you are opened up that hopefully the source may dwell in you. You sound more woke than anything because this generation thinks it's about them. It's not about YOU. That's the point. It's about God and truth. And that's what the revelation is. GOD IS LOVE. Every thing he does is based on love. You just don't understand do you? Take yourself out of the equation that you might receive understanding.

We are a society of egos that's why there is great heart ache among the righteous.

On the other hand I totally agree with some here in that Bill forced his material into most of his talk show appearances, never appearing to enjoy it, mind you... but people need to remember that artists actually do these things for PROMOTION, they are NOT friendly visits just to chitchat for no reason.

    Clive was kindly setting up all Bill's jokes here.
    It was him who saw Hicks in Montreal and came back to England championing him, getting him his break, which ultimately made him. In that sense, Clive Anderson is a bit like Chas Chandler, the original bassist in The Animals, who "discovered" Jimi Hendrix and got him to come to London and then managed him. Humanity, to some degree, should thank Chas Chandler and Clive Anderson for recognising the real deal and going out of their way to help them.

      I get it. And the bits are funny...when I run across videos I haven’t of Hicks (or any other deceased entertainer that I am a fan of) I kind of hope to hear something “new” or another look into them and who they were...I get the canned answers and understand the reasons for them...I was just wanting something I hadn’t heard before.

    • @allybally0021

      I agree......Anderson knows Bill's comedy routine and sets then up for Hicks to use his punchlines. I love Bill's work but this is dissapointing. There is no interview or chat or any real insights. Just selling tickets for shows with punchlines.
