he has got a point about selling the product becouse te second an artist do that he is doing propaganda and not telling the truth as artist realy should do that.
HICKS=2nd best ever to george carlin.. interestingly enough they are the Only 2 comics that could ever work in POLITICS into their works and it be Funny and 100%TRUE! They both called out that the republicans and democrats are actually the EXACT SAME.. they are controlled by the same people and are only there to give people an illusion of choice!They understood that this country is a fascist corporate Shitland where the people have ZERO POWER! I wish more people were open to thinking like this
I disagree with Hicks on this one. People don't realize just how close to the financial edge many of these celebrities are. When their careers end, their lives tend to implode. Look at Gary Coleman. You think celebrities want to be a security guard when the party's over? They're just planning for the future and trying to maintain a bit of financial security, that's all.
@fuckinlayne Chuck Norris filed lawsuit against the company that published that egregious facts about Chuck Norris, which is evident that, it actually offended him.
If you love Chuck Norris so much then why are you promoting something that HE HATES?
@ChuckSchuldinerRIP0 He sued due to copyright infrigement, he said he didn't mind the Chuck Norris facts and often found them funny, he just wanted his cut because his name was used. Or that is what I interpreted by the section in Wikipedia. Read it again and tell me what ya think...
Oh Bill,hope that spaceship came and picked you up,leaving behind this shithole you entertained and tried to enlighten in vain,and hope you have some good lines when i come upstairs and meet you! RIP
10:30 "Let me tell you something right now and you can print this in stone and don't you ever forget it, any any performer that ever sells a product on television is for now and all eternity removed from the artistic world" - Bill you the MAN !
But anyways, my point is that Charlie Parker wasn't a good musician because of heroin, the Beatles and the Grateful Dead weren't good because of LSD. Bob Marley couldn't sing better when he was high on pot. Music comes from your soul. You don't need drugs... he would have been better off making a point that prescription drugs are worse than illegal drugs. THAT point would have been well taken...
@tpstrat14 Drugs helped expand their minds in a time when things were extremely conservative and America was like a different world than it is now. Mostly everybody in the music buisness is on one thing or another from ground level to executive level to this day. Watch a little documentary called The Drug Years for some enlightenment.
Hicks' point about drugs making good music shows that he has never played a musical instrument or sang with any proficiency or purpose. Clifford Brown is one of my very favorite musicians and he never did drugs. Not only is he one of MY favorite, but he is considered one of the most influential jazz musicians ever. Hicks was entertaining, yes, but he was such a fool....
@tpstrat14If you're that easily offended by flippancy, Bill Hicks is probably not the sort of comic you should be watching, unless of course you're just one of those douchebags who likes going round picking tiny, irrelevant details apart to justify your attitude of superiority. If Hicks was, to quote you, a "fool", and you consider yourself intelligent, then I'll stick with the fools. Lastly, I'll add that you missed the entire point, which was one about hypocrisy.
@pamew I love Bill Hicks' comedy and presentation. But he alluded to a the falsehood that all music is made by drug addicts. It's not true... at all. Drug addiction is a side affect of playing heavenly music and not feeling like anyone understands you even though you're pouring out your soul to them. It has nothing to do with the CAUSE of the great music. All I'm saying is that Hicks could have stated that point about hypocrisy without sounding like a know-nothing...
@tpstrat14 "he alluded to a the falsehood that all music is made by drug addicts"
No he didn't. He pointed out that every person likely has at least a few records made by people who took drugs. Also, again, it's a JOKE in a COMEDY routine. I don't get why you're so hung up on such a small point frankly, I love music, but what you're doing here could be described as rather anal.
@pamew I just think it's dangerous to say that drugs CREATE music, or anything good for that matter. (Hicks CLEARLY said this) Drugs are a personal choice and have never done any good or bad. They're inanimate and therefore are as good or bad as the person using them. You don't take LSD then create music. That's not how the Beatles did what they did..... you can take acid and think you know love. It doesn't mean that you do....
@pamew Uh yea, I don't care who you're talking to, impressionable children or whatever. It's still dangerous to sound like an idiot. You may be 100% correct about the Beatles, but I guarantee you they would have made the same QUALITY music had they refrained from drugs. It would have been different, yes, but of the same quality. And lastly, replace "love" in my last post with "music" and you'll understand, alright little one? (love=music)
@tpstrat14 I assume you were trying to be patronising with that last comment.
Good for you.
"It's still dangerous to sound like an idiot."
He's a comedian, you being so anal minded that you dwell on one flippant comment whilst seemingly ignoring the point of the entire joke does not make him an idiot.
Also, he never said that someone with no musical ability could take drugs and suddenly understand music, so that ridiculous "love" comparison is moot.
@pamew Did you listen to the comedy routine? Or are you just trying to argue. He said "if you don't think that drugs have done anything good, take all your music and burn it because all those musicians were real fuckin high". How do you misinterpret this? He's saying that drugs create music, which is FUCKING STUPID. What did you think he was joking when he said this? I didn't hear anyone laugh...
@tpstrat1 Christ, you really are obsessed with it aren't you?
Again, he's pointing out a double standard, where people say "all drugs are terrible, ban them" but also regularly get attached to the creations of people who were fucked up while they were recording. Yes, they're talented, so they put out good music anyway, but they write in different, equally great ways while high (Beatles, again). His point is that it's hypocritical, nothing more, nothing less.
@tpstrat14 so does he have to explain everything that he means to his absolute detail. its okay if you didnt understand what he meant. and also you know these are jokes right. not all of them are meant to be take literal
@anessone You don't understand Bill Hicks. The content of his material is never a joke(which is why I love him. He's not JUST about getting cheap laughs) There was no "joke" here in the actual content. Maybe there was in the way he portrayed himself, but not in the content. Hicks went over the top sometimes in his visions of reality and it can be totally misleading. (i.e. If Hicks REALLY believed that every good music album produced was enhanced by drugs, he was quite mistaken)
@tpstrat14 or you interpreted it wrong. because the argument he was attacking was that drugs are really bad and will fuck up your life. and then he gave examples of people who had a great life and still took drugs. and he never said the words you said all he said was burn the records since the artists took drugs while recording but how does that interpret into drugs creates good music?
guys our whole point is to be free! so why arent we? animals dont have a govt,so why us? we r here to learn so havent we learnd that money just dosent fucking work? quit your job trust me i did.
@myvaginableedsdaily I quit my job at Subway back in 07 and haven't really worked since. Problem is my only options since have been living at home or living in a shelter (which wasn't half bad). You gotta admit, having no money sux balls.
@myvaginableedsdaily Animals also don't have healthcare, clean drinking water, a stable source of food, proper shelter, and social security. You said you no longer work for a living, I assume this means you claim some form of income support. Pray tell, who provides that?
was the casting terminally ill people as stuntmen in chuck norris films joke edit out from earlier in this show? I don't remember him telling it, but he referred to it in this clip.
@lonsumtravlr It could've been edited out. He did do a lot of shows a year though, so he might have accidentally referred to the joke, thinking that he did it earlier. Who knows B-)
@SCETsphere What are you a fundamentalist Christian? It's the same now as it was when he was alive. It's not getting worse. It can get better if you stop looking to Bill Hicks for wisdom...

Potentially, yes, in this case no. Bill Hicks was hardly playing to rooms full of impressionable children you know...

No, but it certainly played an influence as to how the beatle's style changed.
