Ever Listen to Bill Hicks?

[Peyote Killa]

He was a comedian who dies in 94. He was really funny, his humor was based on government, educational, and religious ideas and beliefs.

If you have never listened to this guy, you should pick up one of his CD's, or look him up on Morpheus or something. He is really funny, he wont regret it.

I love Bill Hicks.. he was being watched by the FBI.. did you know that??

The Tool LP Aenima used some of his material. I haven't heard too much of him but he seems funny.

cool thanks, I enjoy his comedy soo much, he is the first comedian who I can actually relate to.

I'll look for some shit there, and keep listening in the meantime.

 

[Peyote Killa]

I forgot to ask you. Why was he being watched by the FBI?

was it cuz of his comedy routine, or what?

 

[dballer]

cause he talked about the gov. alot.. so they had him on a watch list...

if you like Bill Hicks.. you might like George Carlin.. he is awesome too!!

 

[Peyote Killa]

I actually saw Carlin live when he came to Houston. He is really funny, but he is like an old bitter man funny, which is funny, but I can't relate to him as well as I could with Hicks.

 

[dballer]

yeah, I know what you mean.

I relate to Crispen Glover.

 

[genxrep]

i enjoy hicks, his comedy and intellect are one of a kind. i can appreciate anyone who can think out side of the box. anyone who can question authority and anyone who can make decissions based on facts not by the media.

BILL HICKS ON DRUGS:

See, I think drugs have done some good things for us, I really do. And if you don’t believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor, go home tonight and take all your albums, all your tapes and all your CD’s and burn them. Because, you know what, the musicians who made all that great music that’s enhanced your lives throughout the years... rrrrrrrreal fucking high on drugs. Man, the Beatles were so high, they let Ringo sing a couple of tunes. Tell me they weren’t partying. (singing) ”We all live in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine.” We all live in a-do you know how fucking high they were when they wrote that? They had to pull Ringo off the ceiling with a rake to sing that fucking song. (Beatle voices) John, get Ringo, he’s in the corner. Ooh, look at him scoot, grab him! Hook his bellbottom, hook his bellbottom! He’s got a song he wants to sing us. Something about living in a yellow tambourine or something. Ringo, Yoko’s gone, come down, we can party again! They were real high, they wrote great music, drugs did have a positive effect.

How about a positive LSD story, that would be newsworthy. Don’t you think? Anybody think that? Just once, to hear a positive LSD story. ”Today, a young man on acid, realised that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves... here’s Tom with the weather.”

Obnoxious , self-righteous, whining little fucks. My biggest fear is that if I quit smoking, I’ll become one of you...Don’t take that wrong. I have something to tell you non-smokers that I know for a fact that you don’t know, and I feel it’s my duty to pass on information at all times. Ready?.......Non-smokers die every day...Enjoy your evening. See, I know that you entertain this eternal life fantasy because you’ve chosen not to smoke, but let me be the 1st to POP that bubble and bring you hurtling back to reality....You’re dead too.

My final point about alchohol, about drugs, about Pornography...What business is it of your’s what I do, read, buy, see or take into my body as long as I don’t harm another human being whilst on this planet?
And for those of you having a little moral dilemna on how to answer this, I’ll answer for you.
NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS
Take that to the bank, cash it and take it on a vacation outta my fucking life.
And stop bringing shotguns to UFO sightings, they might be here to pick me up and take me with ’em

A friend of mine has most of Hicks' discs. Amazing stuff.
