I’m four years older than Bill Hicks was when he died. I better get moving.

Thanks for the link. Think I'll make a Bill Hicks Quote-A-Day Calendar for myself for Christmas.; 12/07/2005 9:49 PM
Rob S. said...: You saw him live? I'm jealous. I've got one of his albums, but by the time I learned who he was, he was long gone.; 12/08/2005 3:41 PM
Jeri said...: I think it was 1991. I can't remember what made me think, "We gotta see this guy"--if I'd seen him on TV, or if someone I knew had free tickets. I was still smoking then, and he was such a wonderful validator. Sigh...; 12/09/2005 10:22 AM
Jeri said...: BTW, I became momentarily depressed once when I was 27 and realized I would never be a wunderkind. I got over it in about five seconds, once I also realized that I hadn't really tried very hard or been pressured to succeed by anyone, which explains my consistently healthy mental state.; 12/10/2005 7:47 AM
Rob S. said...: For me it was 29. I suddenly realized I was the same age as the comics always said Superman was, and I couldn't lift a battleship over my head.; 12/12/2005 9:48 AM
