One of Hicks's most famous quotes was delivered during a gig in Chicago - known s the "Infamous Bill Looses it in Chicago" show - in 1989 (later released as the bootleg I'm Sorry, Folks).

Hicks followed this remark with a misanthropic tirade calling for unbiased genocide against the whole of humanity.
