Publisher's Synopsis
The Door Is A Jar-Bill Hicks is an excerpted chapter from Ben Robinson's 2017 Mindful Artfulness. "A very exciting time capsule-positive, darkly sweet, and well-researched arts literature..." wrote H. Freytag in VANISH. Hicks was a gifted musician, who slayed audiences with sensational stand-up comedy. He was a stand-up philosopher, his great gift: bringing clarity, wit, insight and truth to evolve ideas. The Door Is A Jar-Bill Hicks explains why Hicks was called "the outlaw comic who tried to change the world." Yet he was much more. Hicks' humor is as relevant today in 2017 as when he played 300-nights a year in the US, Canada, Australia and England where he became a star. Leaving Earth in1994, his work and wonderful presence of mind still lives. Author Ben Robinson understands the illusion Hicks prayed to be lifted out of. And, so will you when you delight in this effusive meditation about Bill Hicks. After his death, now compared to Mark Twain; routinely called "the greatest comedian of his generation."
