That is sad but I'm glad that you at least find Hicks' material worthwhile.

Maybe it's pedantic, but I think this bit is hilarious and timeless..

I've always found Hicks much funnier than Carlin. Hick's opinions were easier to reject, me thinks. He always seemed like he was half kidding or self-deprecated his own beliefs.
