Bill Hicks: 20 Years Later by Patton Oswald (http://www.pattonoswalt.com/index.cfm?page=spew&id=170)
This was a pretty neat article by Patton Oswald that was originally supposed to be an intro to the new edition of American Scream by Cynthia True (good read, too) that was supposed to be out in 2012. He provides a different take on the typical comparison to comedy's forerunners like Lenny Bruce, Pryor, Carlin, Cosby and so on.
Hmmm, time to rewatch some Bill Hicks, (and I am certain i will run into some of his material i haven't seen before.).
