Shortly after the first iraq war a military analyst on TV predicted that the US would go to Bagdad only after the UN sanctions had weakened the Iraqi army considerably...perhaps in 10 years.
Uh, the political situations that are ongoing today were described in near perfect detail by Bill Hicks more than ten years ago. The point of the video was to show the irony of politics today. Someone once said that if politics back then made Bill sick, today they'd be terminal. I don't really see him as a comedian, to tell you the truth. His work was too savage, painful and honest to be just comedy.
Uh, I think the point was pretty obvious, and it was really well put together. It wasn't intended to show "Oh look how funny he is" it was intended to show how Bill practically described the U.S as it is today and predicted future events.
im not looking for someone to show me how funny he was... ive never even thought of bill as a stand-up comedian ....that wouldnt be giving him enough credit.
and i was only saying i dont need someone to show me `how he described the us ` or anything ... i can see/ hear that in any of his cds/dvds that i own... thanks anyway
and yeah my first comment was random and uncalledfor
i apologise for that ... at the time i was just thinking... `just watch the whole of revalations` see how well it flows , bill put alot of effort / energy into that, but yeah , as far as a brief intro to bills work goes its good
bad quality... but bill hicks is allways good...

he may have described the way the situation is today but he was talking about how they were 10 years ago, they just are happening again the same way

kinda think it was stupid and random...
when taken outta context..
all of bills work is available as he performed it ....and complete
this is pretty unnecessary... not sure what point your trying to get across
but good to see people still taking interest in the genius of bill ...or course

....and exactly what did bill redict??
he was never a prophet... an intelligent, artistically minded and articulate guy
with an understanding or human nature and a desire to point out how fucked up we can be....
if youre referring to los angeles falling into the ocean as a predition of his...
i think you`ll find it was merely a hope ...and `fervent prayer`
