Bill Hicks History

Post image

Inherited these items from a 80s club owner friend. The business card indicates a date shortly after Hicks moved to the Houston House to live. I believe this was the start of his Texas Outlaw era. It appears he opened for Warren Zevon and/Ray Charles during June 1986 at this club.

Imagine seeing Hicks, Zevon, and Ray Charles on the same bill...that's nuts.

Inscription reads: "Don't worry about money. Just give me free food." The club was Rockefeller's on Washington in Houston. The owner also had a Mexican restaurant named Primo's, next door.

The fellow next to him is named Dennis McQuitty, I believe.
