The Tool Page: Opinion - View Single Post - bill hick: now who but why

Bill Hicks used his comedy as a means to pry open his audience’s third eye. The painting is a play on that, where Bill Hicks is literally pulling Maynard’s leg, you can see the third eye being exposed at the top of Maynard’s head. As for Bill Hicks being dressed as a doctor, well he is fixing Maynard’s crippled legs isn’t he?

If you haven’t heard Bill Hicks I would recommend his “Rant in E minor” album. If you already own all his albums, and bootlegs you could try Cynthia True’s Biography of Bill Hicks, which is called “American Scream”, it shows a very different side to the man.

It seems most of you have discovered Bill Hicks through Tool, but did anyone else discover Tool through Bill Hicks like me?
