BBC, HICKS BOOKS AND VEGAS

have not heard back from the bbc, don't know what is going on but will post it as soon as i know anything. they may have decided to not interview me for all i know. i can recommend the book BILL HICKS, AGENT OF EVOLUTION which is good but not great and does a good job of capturing the houston years of the TEXAS OUTLAW COMICS. in my opinion it is better than AMERICAN SCREAM which came out right after bill's death.

no place like vegas: we had 5 county commissioners two years ago and of the 5, four were convicted of multiple charges of corruption. one was getting 16,000 dollars per month from one devoloper and still taking another three grand a month from a titty bar owner. the one who was not convicted is rumored to be the most corrupt of the five. even chicago and new york in their heydays of corruption could not match our boys and girls. it's vegas, baby! hell, our mayor used to be the mob's attorney here and he does gin commercials as a sideline money maker. it's vegas, baby! our governor was accused of attacking a woman in a parking garage and i, and most of the people i know, think he did it. surprising enough the security tapes disappeared and then miraculously were found several weeks later and lo and behold, they showed nothing.

don't get me wrong, i love this town. corruption and all, no better or fun place to live. just got out of the pool and now am off to have gormet breakfast; it's vegas, baby! going to play poker later and then some fans who are in town are taking rhonda and i out for dinner.

incidently, if you are in vegas or are coming, write me and let me know, i like meeting fans from around the country. unlike many performers, i like the people who buy the tickets to come see me and buy my albums, without you guys (that is non-sexual) i have no career so give me a holler when you are in town.
