Bill Hicks C or D

oh

funny to complain about mindless fans and then say your problem with grokking his work is how he's marketed

His criticism of bad music types might still stand up if his own music wasn't unfotunately lame, I wonder who actually cares whether they include it in a box set or not.

i mean its no crime to not want bill hicks venting in your ear, but c'mon every dead person's cottage industry and cult is insufferable

Agreed, the guy was fucking hilarious.

Dont agree with this at all:

"I know it's important to distance yourself from dude since his diehard fans are 20,000 leagues below embarrassing"

xxxpost

i dunno, there are a lot of hicks wanna-bes who were set afire by his righteous bile and missed the self-aware self-deprecation

not everyone needs a frustrated koresh type going off about his plight, even if he's the most self-aware of the batch

"childbirth is not a miracle. childbirth is no more a miracle than you eating and a turd coming out of your ass"

huh

^ new dad, not target audience

haaa

yeah I don't know if I can handle that righteous bile at this point in my life

lol it was the first bit that came to mind.

a laser-guided rant etching itself into your brain

this shit's really more mannah for frustrated single dudes still living in their college town in the late twenties - or have been at some point in their lives

his rant on gays in the military is still appropo and classic.

"Is that a village of women and children? Quick, where's the napalm? But I don't want any gay people around while I'm killing kids, I just don't wanna see it!"

I don't even know what this means? Are you threatening to like go find embarrassing aspects of my personal life on ILX because I'm making fun of Bill Hicks fans?

Re: the Louie heckler scene

I REALLY love the whole "this is the only 15 minutes of happiness we get and you ruined it" which was some REAL TALK about the nature of performing AND the oblivious of some people to their surroundings.

But since dude is breaking it down to the elements, I really would have loved a sentence on two on exactly why he or Patton or Hicks were so quick to call women "cunts" when they ruin their show, because there's def another layer going on there that he would have probably been able to explore articulately

i'll take it to the Louie thread, as scott did

"ever go to a Eric Clapton concert with your own f***ing guitar? HEY ERIC, EVER HEARD THIS ONE?"

Are you threatening to like go find embarrassing aspects of my personal life on ILX because I'm making fun of Bill Hicks fans?

didn't really mean "finding embarrassing aspects" but if you're going to type "huh" every eighth post and call dudes who stayed in their college town "losers" I could easily point out stuff you've shared on the net regarding romance and employment that should make you glad you're not sympathetic to Hicks types but also think twice about trolling them too hard.

...LOSER

I guess then the prudent thing for me to do is to bow out from this thread.

Better safe than sorry.

hey, guys, he spawned. he's doing alright. let's not put our bitterness on him.

so who belongs on the "angry funny liberal middle-american loser" mount rushmore with hicks and pekar?

also, sorry i went ilx meta when really i should have said "we can't all be winners"

l. bangs

all the novelists and short story writers i'm thinking of turned out relatively successful and well-adjusted. (then again, so did pekar.)

Bangs OTM
