Yes - Bill Hicks never quite got the fundamentals of human nature and interaction.
And as for "It's just a ride, we can change it any time we want" - well - clearly he's never met an average Joe doing 9-5 with a mortgage and a couple of kids.

In fact, the more I think about Bill Hicks, the more I dislike his preachy, worthy, righteous, unrealistic pseudo-psychology hippy bullshit.

It's a pity people take it so seriously really.
After all it was a stand-up routine, nothing more. It was to be listened to and enjoyed, not taken away and analysed.
Well, that's my take on it anyway.

Well some of it was based on righteous anger - eg about marketing and advertising.
It's not surprising people ended up saying "Well then how do people know about your gigs?"

Well yeah, I'm sure the irony wasn't lost on Bill.
I've been a fan since I saw him in about 88/89? Bristol I think, not sure anymore.
Got the cd's, films, books. I've always thought that as a comedian and tongue-in-cheek cod-philosopher he was brilliant. Yeah, definitely had some messages to pass on but I reckon people have always taken this sort of thing too seriously. He was a comedian, not the new messiah.

Actually it might have been 1990?
I'll see if I can find the ticket when I get home cos it's bugging me now!
Damn you, brain!
