there's a poem from bukowski.. it goes the best often die by their own hand just to get away, and those left behind can never quite understand why anybody would ever want to get away from them
@@Democracy_Manifesthe was a heavy smoker and prophesied he wouldn’t live to an old age. Pancreatic cancer often secondary to heavy smoking and/or drinking.
when i was young i discovered Bills comedy, and i feel his perspective shaped who i am. its really bizarre and bewildering what being a liberal means now.
What impact has a misogynistic homophobic misanthropist had on your life? Mr. ChumpOn, you may want to set your sights a little higher in terms of influence.
thank you for this interview, edited or even better when not, those rare moments with the great one's who've already left this plane, are pure treasure available for all thanks to you long live bill on all free media and never rest in peace until all that's available on these real human beings is free on the internet ... bill rules, too bad he died so young
I just discovered this guy about a month ago, and for some odd reason I didnt catch on to his humor, but then I kept watching his shows and something clicked where I just fricking love the guy noe and can't get enough of him. Dammit, why can't him and George Carlin have to be dead. It really does make me sad to know that these guys are gone forever, and all we have is these videos. This is what makes them legends and even more appealing now. These two have made my life just that much better.
To everyone saying 'Bill would hate today's world' ect ect. Can you imagine the world today if Bill had lived? He wouldve had the last 18 yrs to spread his message, free use of the internet to amplify it. Jesus, there was a real chance he could've been huge. Preaching to arenas! His head wouldn't have exploded because the world would be very different than it is now if he was still here physically. BUT there's still hope it can be that way. All we have to do is keep spreading the message for him
bill hicks is a legend in his own right. he inspired quite a lot of artists, including myself. but i have to say that if you state that hicks was ahead of his time then I recommend you check out Lenny Bruce. He was an inspiration to all tongue in cheek comedians back in the sixties.
Bill Hicks was on a different level to everything, he was able to just rise above it all and laugh at it. Don't know where he is now, but you know he's taking the piss out of it. Bill Hicks you will always be a legend
It's still amaze me just how a lot of people do not know about Spovelax Training Program (just google search it) despite the fact that lots of people improve their soccer skills with it. Thanks to my pal who told me about this. I've improve my soccer skills.
i think he felt that way because he was upset that he couldnt fully express his opinions on stage or on tv during the last years of his life. in one of his last interview he does which you can find on youtube he expresses how david letterman would censor his acts a lot of the time when he would come on television because it was not good for the audience. i feel bad for him because he was an amazing hero to humanity and i wish he was still alive today to expose the truth. RIP Bill Hicks
I see many people keep on talking about Rocelangue Method (search on google). But Im not sure if it's good. Have you ever tried this popular learning language program?
@Gaff76 i feel like if bill was alive things may be different. i mean, i'm 26 so when he was touring and everything i was no where to be found. alot of people my age really can relate and gain insights from bill and the fact that he is gone represents a voice of an unheard group of Dreamers. hell, his material for G.B. senior was totally relevant during G.W.'s terms. that always made me think WHAT IF BILL was here to see this shit. honestly i think his head would explode but...we miss him.
What does Bill Hicks have to do with Zietgiest, well, first off, Alex Jones and Bill Hicks are on the same productions company, a company that Bill Hicks and Kevin booth founded, called Sacred Cow productions, on top of that, Bill Hicks is featured with audio for the film.
shibman: It was both: I thought you were commenting on Hicks, and the "cliche" thing is one of my grammatical pet peeves. Since I see the former wasn't true and the latter was intentional, my apologies.
Of course, sorry, I forget whay day it is most of the time,let alone the year...!! I saw Bill in UK, Bham town hall in 92.....Im luck to say I was there.....
he was a little more than that.. from wikipedia: an American astronomer, astrochemist and highly successful popularizer of astronomy, astrophysics and other natural sciences.
@CallingCrowe Spot on. That has me both disappointed and relieved actually. Because it means that there are more benign idiots than there are intelligent sociopaths in the world. Hopefully mankind can one day reach a perfect balance between intelligence and morality.
HAHAHA, nobody got that. I guess it happens. Do you think I was commenting on Hicks or was it just the grammatical error that ruffled your feathers? I actually was replying to another person's comment and I, in fact, do know the error in the use of the word cliche. The guy I was replying to made the same error and my comment was in jest. It's called sarcasm. Though I do understand where you are coming from. It's difficult to get across a sarcastic tone while writing.
@DashCat9 said this to ym friend the other day, I wonder what Bill Hicks would make of the last 10 years, he'd have a field day. Thinking about it he'd have probably died from trying to assasinate Bush, but then again maybe not, as life is just a ride :D
@CallingCrowe Haha, personally i hope we never have all the answers...the world is better for its mysteries, i say! Incidentally, you should read a book called "stranger in a strange land"...its a fascinating science fiction novel that has to do with a human raised by a spiritually and ethically perfect society of martians.
i don't see how he was "ahead of his time." are you just repeating what letterman said? he's just a human who isn't afraid to speak his mind. everyone else is just brainwashed. he didn't expect anyone to understand, and most don't. god help us.
