I see Bill as having been more than just a comedian...He is like a role model to me. He may not have been massively famous or loved by all, but he sure as hell made an impact on society through his humor. He was such an amazing person who had the guts to say things nobody would even dare speak of today. His hot takes on homophobia, for example, were so subversive for a time when queer people weren't even allowed in the military and would get their asses beaten for going out in public. He hated all forms of discrimination. Bill...there are still those of us out there who want Arizona Bay to be real. Those of us who listened to all of your albums, who watched all of your comedy specials. You meant more to us than you will ever realize. You stood up for the outcasts and the forgotten people in this world. We've made some progress, but still have to fight against the backwardness and bigotry shoved down our throats by mainstream media and conformist society.
@@recoverylund I just wish that somebody could find and post the extended set he did at the Ninja Bachelor Party premiere in Austin. He did this whole long encore where all of his drunken buddies from Houston were "encouraging" him to do his old stuff like Elmer Dinkley and Dad jokes. At one point he got so frustrated about being a "human jukebox" that he did a thing where he slammed himself onto the stage and hurt himself pretty bad. He got back up and started yelling: "Damn it, the next time you see that I'm about to do something that's going to break bones up here and you know you're not going to laugh afterwards? Tell me 'Stop, Bill! We're not going to be amused so it's not worth you hurting your damn self!' Could you do me that much of a courtesy?!?" I know for an absolute fact that Kevin Booth was there, and he always at least audiotaped the shows when he was there, so there should be a recording -- unless maybe he was so busy dealing with the projector and everything for the film that he might have decided not to make the extra effort of trying to mess around with recording equipment as well. I dunno...
I'm going to make a list of every Bill Hicks political prophecy (joke) that came true over the last 30 years since his death. It might take me years to complete.
Top 3 greatest comedians of all time! We miss you Bill……you would have a field in todays strange new delusional world where music stinks…,rock n roll died…..mainstream music is dogs*** and films stink …..and the gen z are entitled pinheads that have done nothing and stare at a phone all day…plus they change their gender whenever they feel it….oh…did I mention comedians can’t say what they truly feel anymore…….ya it’s called cancel culture! Lol. I’m serious! Bill come back and straighten out Earth buddy! Say hi to your buddies Sam Kinison and Rodney for me! See u soon!
The only thing he missed is that iraq was not a 3rd workd country they were very modern with electricity and water. Its american propaganda to think they were already living in the stone age.
