Fidel Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Bill Hicks! The War on Drugs: "George Bush says 'we are losing the war on drugs'. Well you know what that implies? There's a war going on, and people on drugs are winning it! Well what does that tell you about drugs? Some smart, creative motherfuckers on that side." Television Commercials: "Supreme Court says pornography is anything without artistic merit that causes sexual thoughts. No artistic merit, causes sexual thoughts. Hmmm . . . sounds like every commercial on TV doesn't it?" The Kennedy Assassination: "People come up to me: 'Bill, quit talking about Kennedy man . . . It was a long time ago . . .' And I'm like alright, then don't bring up Jesus to me. As long as we're talking about shelf life here." Annoying Non-Smokers: "The worst kind of non-smokers are the ones that come up to you and cough. That's pretty fucking cruel isn't it? Do you go up to cripples and dance too?" Pornography: "One of my big fears in life is that I'm going to die and my parents are going to have to clear out my apartment and find the porno wing I've been adding to for years. There'll be two funerals that day." Christianity: "A lot of Christians wear crosses around their necks. Do you think when Jesus comes back he ever wants to look at a fucking cross? It's kinda like going up to Jackie Onassis with a rifle pendant on." The Gulf War: "They said the Iraqis had the fourth largest army in the world. Well, the Hare Krishnas are the fifth largest and they've already got our airports." Advertisers: "By the way, if anyone here is in advertising or marketing, kill yourself. No, this is not a joke: kill yourself . . . I know what the marketing people are thinking now too: 'Oh. He's going for that anti-marketing dollar. That's a good market.' Oh man, I am not doing that, you fucking evil scumbags." Waco: "If the FBI's motivating factor for busting down the Koresh compound was child abuse, how come we never see Bradley tanks smashing into Catholic churches?" The Pope: "I love the Pope, I love seeing him in his Pope-Mobile, his three feet of bullet proof plexi-glass. That's faith in action folks! You know he's got God on his side." The Military: "Gays in the military . . . here's how I feel about it, alright? Anyone . . . DUMB enough . . . to want to be in the military, should be allowed in. End of fucking story. That should be the only requirement." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglesoup Posted June 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Great stuff Fidel. I love this Bill Hicks. A very incisive wit. What I liked about him was that he was bang on with his insights, angry, and cynical, but he did it in such funny and ironic way. I would add to that list the one where he was saying why the news cant just have one positive drug story, Just for balance. He said the story is always boy takes acid and thinks he can fly and jumps of building to his death...and then Bill gives his positive spin about boy taking acid and realising the nature of existence...cant remember the exact word of the top of my head...I m sure you know it.

Fidel Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.

FreeTime Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Though I live in Canada I'm fortunate enough to receive the signals from National Public Radio in the U.S.A. out of Seattle, Washington. Weekends they play lots of historic Jazz and Blues. Sunday afternoon @ 3:00 P.M. PST one can listen to 'The Art of Jazz' with Ken Wiley who has an astounding knowledge of the art form. Saturday and Sunday evenings PST feature great Blues. I'm listening to the Sunday evening 'All Blues' show right now. You can apparently listen to it live through a link at the NPR Seattle station web site: http://www.kplu.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
