Russell is a great comedian.
like you I am impressed that he is an admirer of the late great George Carlin

I would have loved to hear Peters' view on Bill Hicks

What I loved about Carlin is that his humour/commentary was deeper than just attacks on political personalities.

He commented on systems.

His indictments of American education and consumerisn are brilliantly done.

i've watched almost everything there is on the subject on youtube smile and none yet close to Carlin imho

the man was a genius...the way he captured systems, as you noted above was really very nuanced.

Russell said sometime back something to the effect that his style took something from Carlin and something from Eddie and mashed it up (or something like that)

TBH, never heard of Bill Hicks before...will try to catch him on youtube...but it's hard to appreciate satire fully if you are a non-contemporary.
