On Bill as a class clown
>"The few students who had seen Bill and Dwight perform for Mrs Barni gathered around the guys in the cafeteria at lunch and egged them on as they tested out new jokes [...] Most of the student body, however, thought they needed to have their asses kicked. Class clowns were one thing, but these two were just losers. The jocks hurled food off their trays at them and one afternoon Dwight got wedged between a Coke machine and the wall. Dwight's brother Terry [said] 'you, Mr Bill Hicks, I heard that you said that your father breast-fed you [...] If that's your idea of humor, I feel sorry for you.'"

On Bill's rock band during his teens
>"They called themselves Stress. [...] they listened to Kiss records and talked about how they were going to be bigger than Kiss and have a bigger stage show than Kiss. [...] their aspirations were way beyond their abilities, but that didn't deter them."
__________
On Bill's anti-Semitic band
>"We had already been playing as "Stress" when Dwight had a teen crush on a girl, Mila Goldstein, reciprocated. She was, as you might suspect with that name, Jewish. The informal flirtation fell apart and, burned by young love gone wrong, we fought fire with fire by writing a handful of songs. Specifically, songs that made fun of Jews. We temporarily changed the band name for the occasion, calling ourselves Joe Arab and the Nazis."
