This Friday on Letterman, comedian Bill Hicks
This one comes direct from the official Bill Hicks site. Read, my friends. The Late Show with David Letterman has scheduled a telecast of the never-aired October 1, 1993 Bill Hicks appearance.

Is coming like a ghost town
I found this link via WarrenEllis.com and I’m sharing it here.
