Almost every comedian that you or I have ever seen on TV or heard in a comedy club lists Bill Hicks as one of the most influential comedians ever. Bill sadly died of cancer in 1994, but is still widely known as a special funnyman and human being in general. Bill Hick’s signature bit was called, “It’s Just a Ride” where he talks about life and seeing people and the world with either fear or love. It’s a poignant, almost non-comedic end to his 1993 HBO Special “Revelations.”
Bill was a man who struggled and fought many demons throughout his life, but in this bit he shows a way to see the world and how to cure some of the things that ail us all. We hope that you choose to reject fear and to be love to all of the people around you whether they are easy or difficult to love. We always have a choice between fear and love.
It’s just a ride.
