Just ran across the trailer for the forthcoming Bill Hicks film, American: The Bill Hicks Story and I am intrigued. Hicks always struck me as too abrasive for his own good but also equally undeniable in his message and the points he made. I can't imagine how frustrating it must have been for him to rage against ignorance and only return blank stares in return... it's probably best that he passed before the uprising of our current political climate as it surely would have killed him.

Anyway, watch the trailer, check out the film site and keep an eye out for a screening in your area sometime soon.
