Ashlee Simpson Saves America

To me her words will always represent the Obama presidency. We all witnessed the historic day, the millions who gathered in Washington, D.C. and around the world. We saw their faces, laughing, crying, cheering. We heard the speech of the great orator and new president as he set America on

world, a place not so hasty in making fun of Ashlee’s big sister. OK he didn’t say that last part, but we know that’s what he meant.

from the official Hicks website: “The Late Show with David Letterman has scheduled a telecast of the never-aired October 1, 1993 Bill Hicks appearance. The show was pre-taped Jan. 26th (with Bill’s mom as a guest) and will air Friday, January 30th on your local CBS affiliate. We’d like to acknowledge and thank Bill’s many fans and everyone who has had a hand in keeping Bill’s comedy and philosophy alive. We hope everyone can tune in and experience what you may have missed or what you barely remember – Bill Hicks performing for a national audience on network television.”
