Ok so I'm going on about Hicks again.
But it's 8 years ago today that he died, so here are some of my favourite quotes from him.
"The world is like a ride in an amusement park.
And when you choose to go on it, you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are.
And the ride goes up and down and round and round.
It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while.
Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question, is this real, or is this just a ride?
And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "hey - don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride..."
"And those rock stars that don't do drugs, the ones that speak out against them? Boy do they...SUCK! Coincidence? Ball-less, spiritless, soul-less corporate little b*tches each and every one of them."
"Is it me? I remember a time when music had a conscience, music had soul and music had balls . Jimi Hendrix...any doubt about that guy? Ok, it's just me...f--k it, go keep buying Michael Bolton CDs and forgetting where we came from. Hey I'm a dreamer...but I'm not the only one"
"Strange to think we celebrate Easter the way we do huh? Celebrating the death and resurrection of Jesus by telling our kids that a rabbit leaves chocolate eggs in the night...I wonder why we're f---ed up as a race? Why those two thing? Why not a goldfish left a Lincoln Log in your sock drawer? At least that has a miraculous connatation to it huh? Mummy! Mummy! Last night a goldfish left a Lincoln Log in my sock drawer!..That's the story of Jesus, son"
"For the record, and let's not mince words for our very survival depends on truth always...George Michael is a big girl. If you ladies like him? You are a lesbian. Come on, George is hocking diet-coke? Even Madonna hocked real coke you little puss. Diet-Coke! I drink it because we don't like big heinies do we girls? Tee-hee-hee.."
"The fact that you can't name every animal on this planet tells me something. It tells me we left the garden too soon. Let's quit rutting for a second and figure out this food/air deal ok? How about a nice world for kids to come to? No? It's just me isn't it, you don't feel the fire, y'all are staring at me and you just don't get it. F--k man, just carry on dropping 'em like flies. How about adopting one that's in a very bad place and offering it love and attention? People ask me why I don't, and I say because I hate children. But that's what gets me man, this veneration of children. They're killing children at Waco! How many children died! The children! Think of the children!...what does that mean, they reach a certain age and they're off you love list? You either love all people of all ages or you shut the f--k up."

Hicks was and still is the man. Telling it like it is...
Much respect on this one Goat Boy, Bill Hicks indeed ruled and it was a tragicly short end to a great comedian. I got in to him through the band Tool then watch loads of videos. One of my favourite quotes is:
"Today a man on acid realised that all matter is mearly energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are all one consciouness that is sharing itself subjectivly. There is no such thing as death. Life is only a dream. And we're just an imagination of ourselves... Here's Tom with the weather!"

Told you they deliver quickly.
Sane Man rocks, my version is a bit shaky at first, but after 3 mins or so it restarts perfectly clear.
Worth it just for the home-movie footage of Bill on acid pedalling around his hometown waving at people between the live-stuff.
And the access-tv stuff is fantastic, completely spontaneous Hicks

I just got Sane Man and the Public Access VHS through the post 5 minutes before I was due to leave for work this morning. Still managed to watch 20 minutes or so though....
"It's not that I disagree with Bush's foreign policy or his economic policy, it's that I think he's the child of Satan let loose upon the earth to kill all life as we know it...yeah, I'm leaning a little to the left on that one"
"Non-Smokers. Self-righteous, obnoxious little slugs. I'd quit smoking if I didn't think I'd become one of you."
"I stopped taking drugs man, I had to quit...why?...well because after you've been taken aboard a spaceship that explains to you that we are all one collective mind experiencing itself subjectively? It's kinda hard to top that...but I'll match that with any alchohol story you got, that's why I had to stop going to AA meetings. All these guys sitting around..'Yeah I love the taste of beer man, I can't stop drinking'..I WENT DRINKING WITH ALIENS YOU MORONS..'I lost my house and my car and my wife'..I LOST AN ALIEN CIVILISATION THAT WANTED TO TAKE ME WITH THEM, SHUT UP!...I don't know if I've gotten that resentment outta my system yet."
"The Supreme Court says that pornography is anything that induces sexual feelings without artistic merit....boy that sounds like every commercial on tv to me. What came first, the hard-on or the Madonna video? See, this is where the argument falls down. Pornography causes sexual thought...no, we have sexual thoughts, therefore we have porno. We're getting the horse before the cart on this one folks. Long before MTV, long before porno movies, long before Madonna, we were having sexual thoughts. How do I know this?....We're here"
"Have you ever stepped over homeless people in the street begging for money and ever thought...wow, maybe our system doesn't work!"
"I'm sick of banging my head against the mentality of this country, which I ascribe to about an 8th grade emotional level. You disagree? Really? Well, go watch Who's The Boss and then we'll talk. I'll be waiting at the evolution bellcurve for you to catch up, I'll be there a while"
"I love talking about the Kennedy Assasination man, to me it represents the perfect example of a totalitarian government controlling the media and partitioning out information as they see fit to keep you and me in the dark as to what...oh sorry, wrong meeting. Tonight it's "Comedy with Bill Hicks!". Hey Bill, they didn't pay to hear you talk about life and the reasons we're killing ourselves, they paid to hear dick jokes...sorry, I thought for a moment we were evolved human beings with the ability to think for ourselves, sorry! My fault! Anyway, the flight over was terrible and yeah, my girlfriend left me and uh, a lot of funny things happened."

Has your Bill Hicks poster arrived yet?
Pre-ordered Totally Bill Hicks on DVD... well... months ago. Still no news on when it's out, irritatingly.
Been reading American Scream too. Excellent so far, just been introduced to the ex-priest comedian.
