Bill Hicks sounds off vs heckler
Created on: July 13th, 2006
Hicks in Chicago in 1989. A set that is painful yet totally f*cking hilarious.

Hmm, I have yet to hear anything deep from Hicks, scripted or unscripted. He was just an angry misanthrope who spent his time putting down humanity and called it a comedy act. The audience shared vicariously in his elitism and cheered him on because they each assumed they weren't the objects of his hate, and thus feel better about themselves for being on the side of the insulter and not part of the masses that Hicks hated. Any way you look at it he wasn't a good comedian, he was a faux-philosopher who...
...got away with pushing his half-thought-out worldview on people by screaming it into a microphone and convincing people it made sense in the moment, with the only concrete thing that people remembered later being that humanity sucks and that (somehow) saying that makes you better than the rest. A real feel-good message if there ever was one. Why am I dissing Hicks in this little corner of the Internet? Just because I finally got tired of the cult of personality that surrounds him, that's why.
