Bill Hicks: Rainbow Warrior

I talk about warrior/mercenary soul/revolutionary, the comedian WILLIAM MELVIN HICKS who lived from 1961- 1994 and died at the age of 32 from pancreatic cancer, right on the verge of hitting it big in the Mainstream American Entertainment Scene. 

Bill Hicks helped me remember who I am, and to re-ignite the eternal source fire inside me. He would stop at nothing to uphold the greatness, integrity, and honor of the human race, and every living soul on this planet. He is one of the funniest people I ever laid my eyes on. 

Bill was a torch bearer of love power, he came here to set down a Galactic explosion of heart fire; a fearless warrior for Truth, Love, Freedom of Expression, and Individualism, a booming voice against all injustice and lies in this world. 

There are some very short audio clips and some longer ones, interspersed throughout the episode of Bill's bits (some of my favorites), so you can get a feel for who he was.

Knowing that Bill existed and, still does in some form (has been immensely helpful in carrying me through the hardest times in my life.)  I never belly laugh so hard as when I am watching him.  His comedy is ruthless, fierce, unforgiving, cerebral, global, prophetic, and many years ahead of his time.  He was a visionary, a leader and an ambassador from another world, his mission was to remind us who we are and how we can reclaim our true divine birthright of freedom and PARADISE on this planet. 
 
He spoke out against the military industrial complex, corporate agendas, the erosion of American culture through advertising and marketing with a stinging bittersweet cocktail of finesse, charm, and raw soul power.   

When I saw him for the first time in 2011 in a documentary called Bill Hicks: American made by his best friend, it set my soul on fire and I felt there was a soul who understood me and the meaning of why we are actually here, for the first time in my life. 

The balance of Bill's child-like silliness and softness with his fearless warrior nature that never hesitated to go straight for the jugular of any injustices he perceived, is a rare, magical, exquisite, beauty and mastery.
