Among Hicks's biggest fans were the members of the band Tool. Tool's 1996 album "Aenema" includes many Hicks references, including a picture in the liner notes, a sound clip of a Hicks routine before the final track "Third Eye", and references to Hicks's "Arizona Bay" routine in the title track. Radiohead dedicated their album "The Bends" to him. Welsh band Super Furry Animals dedicated their album, Fuzzy Logic, to him. Was friends with controversial comedian Sam Kinison, who also died prematurely. Appeared 11 times on David Letterman, but always in a very "neutered" way. His final appearance (which he had hoped would be his final message to America before he died) was recorded but cut out of the final broadcast at the last minute. Ironically afterwards he was called back and asked to do another performance, his response was: "Why?". Bill strongly criticized the show for its "ludicrous" censorshop policies (not being able to say the word "Jesus" being one of them). David Letterman later appeared in a documentary about Bill where he offered his regret on how the situation ended. To this day the footage has never been seen. Is #19 on Comedy Central's 100 Greatest Stand-Ups of All Time Had one son, Tom Wyatt, born on September 23rd, 1987 To make ends meat Bill would drive the son of the owners of the night club he was working at in California to school after working all night. The club was the Comedy Store owned by Sammy and Mitzi Shore. Their son was Pauly Shore. Was engaged to manager Colleen McGarr before his death.
