Tragically in the end Consumerism is what ended up killing him. I guess being a product of the South it made it even harder for him to avoid tobacco companies and cigarettes. And obviously he knew what kind of threat they possessed.
"You know all that money we spend on weapons and defense every year? Trillions of dollars. Instead, if we spent that money feeding and clothing the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over,not one human being excluded ... not one ... we could as one race explore inner and outer space together in peace, forever." - Bill Hicks
i fucking hate this country with a passion...at least what its become, anyway
we are nothing but a huge population of drones, who want nothing more than the latest celebrity gossip...its gotten so bad, that the only requirement to be a "celebrity" these days, is to look pretty...they dont want talent, because real talent will open people's eyes
go watch an episode of one of the ten thousand kardashian shows on tv...you will want to go on a killing spree, those "people" are vile and rotten
yeah what he will say about all that shit today,and carlin too, we need a character like him in our days,nobody has this freedom of speech,thanks to bill for that awareness he gave us,his words are still strong and topical and will get more and more such, its nice to see there are people who likes his way of thinking maybe we are not so asleep society,thanx to him
Thanks for posting this. One of the best social commentators of the last quarter century. I was initially attracted to Bill Hicks because he makes me laugh harder then anyone else telling jokes, but I've gotten a lot more from him then just laughter. He used his platform as a comedian to do more then just make people laugh, he also got people to think. No one else (including some great comedians) used the platform of comedy to get people to question life the way he did.
I really wish this guy was alive today.Well... He probably would've still died , but not from the smokin' or w/e, but from the goddamn nonsense that is here today and everyone eating it up without questioning anyfuckingthing.
Wow! I wish I would have heard this skit back in the day to wake up my ass 15 years ago. I didn't wake up until just a few years ago and only now laughing at all this guys brilliant jokes still relevant to this day from the grave. I am glad the internet lets me hear a performance like this thats frozen in time for all to see!!
the cock sucking elite who own and run everything in this fucking country are selling it out from under us, tomorrow. There ain't no battle over fucking NAFTA that's a fucking charade, like our elections are a fucking charade... and tomorrow, ladies and gentlemen, they're selling your fucking life out from under you. Don't you ever fucking forget it, either...
@grnmn883 can i be friends with you? i try to explain this to people and they are like, but "leary, et al" are funnier... first off no they aren't, second, humor was not always bill's point you fucker!
We our rather screwed up. We elect the true comedians to our government. And the men who truly seem to have had there finger on the pulse of America, Bill Hicks, George Carlin, we put in a little room with a microphone and laugh at them. Too bad both are gone now because I would write both of them on the next presidential ballot as president and vice president.
From 8:57 to 9:35 he makes such a great point. I wish everyone could see this performance and realise just how fucked up the world which they are living in has become.
Just amazing......to know this was his last......why do we lose the best....hicks...kinison....hedberg...dont forget Andy Kaufman who was crazy as hell...
if the 12 people that run the world would partake in Christ and eat the holy bread(magic mushrooms Ezikial 4:15-17) then they would be believers and I would bet that they would be happier then they are now-------they would probably get filled with the Holy Spirit of God and then they would give all their money to the poor so they could maximize on how many people that they could save from starvation--blessed are the poor in spirit and the kindom of heaven is theirs----guess who HELL belongs to?
you know... i don't think that the world is ran in quite the conspiracy fashion people romatisize about. are we getting duped on tons of things on a regular basis? sure. however i don't think you'd really have to conspire that much for it to happen. it's just the nature of a capitalistic society. we breed con men, who realize that partnership with other conmen towards the goal of stealing from people yeilds results. thus, we have quite a few people working to generate easier prey.
however it's a pretty simple formula... and those who know the secret, natually partner with others that know the secret out of convienence. it's not a grand scheme, it's just a series of cons working together.
@DavidsVirtualSelf i basically agree....you don't need a conspiracy when you have the money/power and others don't. We're all entitled to earn a living, and a few people managed to be the lucky ones who got their hands in something that most of us need and are willing to pay for. It's no rage against the machine romantic struggle or mystery, its just the tough shit rule. and go ask some kid living in a shanty on the sudan how well an anarchic life free of the "machine" is treating him.
Yeah the plan is pretty simple: Profit. No conspiracy needed for every one to know it. Everyone is trying to take from each other and the general public in one giant parasitic frenzy. Of course in competition there are winners... and so it always ends up putting the power in the hands of the group of ruthless, narcissistic psychopaths that beat everyone.
@scholarlylad85 back in the day, it was davinch, and van one ear painter, shacke n' bake. and thier words are in books, poems, plays, and paintings. problem is long ago. THEY got ahold of them.
Are you retarded? Bill was a genius, but knowing about the new world order didn't make him one. People have been talking about the new world order for much longer than that. Even the president previous to the one in power during the filming of this video very famously mentioned it in one or more speeches.
Also, I love Hicks, but I don't know that he was ahead of his time. People still don't do comedy like this. At least not many do. You don't get famous doing what he did. Bill was a passionate rebel and a good example of counter culture.
I disagree. Counter-culture is a diversion and represents only the lunatic fringe. Doesn't matter if counter culture's ideas are more correct if it becomes a subculture - which it has, rather than a prophetic message.
Yum nummy! Semantics are tasty, but alas, I have no time for them. I'll just say that I disagree with everything you said and we can just agree to disagree.
At the time I thought it complete BS that they sent in tanks and commandos on the WACO compound and that the Branch Davidians started the fire. Now I hear about the tanks with the flame throwers, I'm going to have to check that out...if it was anyone else, I'd dismiss it, but Bill. I'll check it out.
Fucking poetry, man. Bravery, truth and fucking beauty in the den of liars, scumbags and cowards.
