Bill Hicks Dismantles the War on Drugs
"The government 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!"

A leftist? He was the the guy who pointed out the left and right were just two puppets on the hands of ONE evil puppeteer.
And his rant about Clinton? You've never seen those I suppose...he ranted about the right just as much.
Bill Hicks was a solid independent thinker.
His mind had been opened too much by psychedelics too be confined to the small tunnel visions of mainstream thinking and politics.

Re: Bill Hicks Dismantles the War on Drugs
Bill Hicks has some leftie tendencies but he is not a hyper SJW type and if he were alive he would be taking on the “safe space” snowflakes and running circles around them. Back in the late 80s one could stilll be leftie and be a decent wise human being.

 Quoting: Wharf Rat


Bill was GenX’s Carlin!
Denis Leary and Sam Kinison both stole bits from Bill in Houston...
Denis’ career was jumpstarted by his No Cure For Cancer Record...
“Although Leary had been friends with fellow comedian Bill Hicks for many years, when Hicks heard No Cure For Cancer, he felt that Leary had stolen his act. The friendship ended abruptly as a result, and was still unsettled when Hicks died of pancreatic cancer 13 months later, at the age of 32. Over the years, several comedians have publicly stated they believe Leary stole Hicks' persona and attitude, in addition to his material. Jokes on the album about Keith Richards, Judas Priest, smoking and "good men dying young" are frequently cited as bearing similarities to Hicks' routines.”

Do you realize the difference from a 1980s liberal and 2020 liberal
1980s One wants small government and looks like today’s conservative movement

2020 liberal looks like right wing government nuts plus abortion on demand

Leary stole the Asshole bit/song from Louis C.K. But give Leary credit, he was funnier on the delivery. Hicks was kind of hateful at times... I liked some of his work but he really was a douche to the common man. He wasn't as educated as the airs he put on. His beliefs, comedy and lifestyle were very much at odds with each other. Leary is an asshole, but a likable asshole. They all steal, borrow whatever but some are just blatant douchebags. Everything has been said before...

Even things like cocaine, 95% of people use without problems. It's the very few who can't control themselves you see on the news.

I did cocaine on the weekends in college, we all did. It wasn't a big deal, and no one ended up in a bad situation from it.

Alcohol on the other hand...

Very true... but back then, pre-internet, a comedian could make a living off of a 45 minute set... comedians stealing bits is nothing new but it was much more easier and thus rampant back then... take a drive across the country, pick up some jokes and drive them back....

Hopefully Wharf Rat knows I’m not trying to derail...
So yeah another good example is Tulsa Oklahoma DJs from KMOD stealing a prank caller character from Tennessee, then subsequently took all the credit and made a veritable fortune from Roy D Mercer CD sales....and never once gave the
real guy any credit...reminds me of all the cover songs in 1980s that were “hits” because MTV made them hits...

give leary credit... for being a total thief? They all do not steal, some not but you can't say they all do.

Leary would have NO career if he had not stolen hicks whole act and persona, only leary was more an obnoxious clown. Leary would never have gotten as popular and known as he did if he did not totally steal hicks's act. And leary is a multi millionaire with a long career now... and it is all built on him being a shit ass poor comic and a thief.
