] Bill Hicks was one of four people I had never known
] personally, but seriously mourned their passing upon
] being notified of each of their deaths. The others were
] Jimi Hendrix, John Bonham, and George Harrison. When Bill
] died in February 1994, I felt as if I had lost a kindred
] spirit --- as I believe in truth just as strongly as he
] did. This was the case because Bill and I were both born
] under the sign of Sagittarius. People born under this
] sign are said to be perpetual students, and are very
] serious about honesty and truth. Sagittarians are also
] voracious readers, a subject about which Bill often
] joked.

] I had never known Bill Hicks, and likewise, I never had
] the chance to see his stand-up act, even though he was a
] friend of Bob Fiorella, a comedian who lives in my own
] city of Buffalo, New York USA. Buffalo is the type of
] city that doesn’t have that big of a night-life, and
] this is because of the perpetually depressed economy in
] our area. Because of  my own life experience, I relate
] to what he discussed in his act on a number of levels.

] Kevin Booth was Bill’s closest friend, and partner in
] many adventures. Kevin was also Bill’s producer and his
] business partner. Together, they began something called
] Sacred Cow Productions, which today, can be found at the
] website listed immediately below. Unfortunately, Bill
] died before the Internet had become a daily part of many
] of our lives --- and because of this, Bill never had the
] chance to see Sacred Cow become an online force for truth
] in comedy:
