How have I not heard the "Bill Hicks faked his own death then came back as Alex Jones" conspiracy before?!
I could imagine him doing the very early Jones stuff as a Andy Kaufman-esque 'whats real, whats performance art, and whats saying more about you that it says about me' type thing.
However, there is no way the Bill Hicks I remember would do anything like what more recent Jones has done, regardless of his commitment to the bit.

"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. Here's Tom with the Weather." - Bill Hicks

Bill Hicks -- A Killer Idea
Hey, man.
Killer idea.
You guys like going to the movies?[scattered audience members]: Yeah.
Do you-- you do? Three of you do?
I love the fuckin' movies. Love 'em.
Now, I'm watching Terminator 2. Did y'all see that movie?[Audience]: Yeah.
Well, I'm watching and I'm thinkin' to myself, "You know what? There's no way they're ever gonna be able to top these stunts in a movie again. You cannot top this shit!"
Unless...
They start using terminally ill people as stuntmen in pictures.[nervous laughter from audience]
Well, hear me out!
'Cause I know to some of you, this may sound a little cruel...
"Aw, Bill. Terminally ill stuntpeople? That's cruel!"
You know what I think cruel is? Leaving your loved ones to die in some sterile hospital room surrounded by strangers.
Fuck that!
Put 'em in the movies!What? You want your grandmother dying like a little bird in a hospital room? Her translucent skin so thin you can see her last heartbeat work its way down her blue veins?
Or do you want her to meet Chuck Norris?"Hey, how come you've dressed my grandmother up as a mugger?"
"Shut up and get off the set. Action!"
"Push her towards Chuck!"
[a long silence, then the sound of a violent impact]
[beat]
"Wow, he kicked her head right off her body. Did you see that?
Did you see my Grammy?
She's out of her misery, you've seen the greatest film of all time!"[uncomfortable noises and laughter from audience]
I'm still feeling some resistance to this, man, what's up?
"Ohhh, ohhh," you and your fake fuckin' sympathy!
Okay, how about these guys who are bein' executed?
Don't do that. Poison. Electrocute. How cruel!
And unimaginative!
Put 'em in the movies!"Jeffrey Dahmer, for your crimes against humanity of which you have been found guilty... I sentence you... to Wes Craven's next picture!"
"Aaaaah! Aaaaaaah!"Okay, not one of my more popular theories.
But just do me a big favor. Don't ever say you love film as much as I.
I think we've found your limit. -

@MelissaBearTrix wow, I would rate injectable #drugs far better than any #advertisement and I'm sure I would get a backing of support by a number of people who hate #marketing and #ads and would prefer an injectable #drug anyday.... Most drugs are injectable, even all those fun drugs that are prohibited by our backwards government...

Today reminds me that years ago, not long before he died, I saw Bill Hicks perform stand up at Faneuil Hall in Boston. He brought up Martin Luther King Jr., and said "I have a dream. [Blam!] I HAVE A HEAD WOUND!"

If #BillHicks were alive today, he could replace his #JimFixx routine with one about #CharlieKirk being killed by gun violence, while he was giving misleading hate-propaganda answers to questions about gun violence.
And then #DenisLeary could steal it.

In 1993, allegations of plagiarism caused a rift between to very important comedians. But did Leary plagiarize Hicks or was it just empty allegations?

Just uploaded my Bill Hicks collection on eBay incuding these two Sacred Cow videos, his final TV interview and his visit to David Koresh's compound in Waco during the siege. A small portion of sales goes to charity. #billhicks

Passed numerous churches today that had erected large crosses for Easter, and, not for the first time, I was pondering what the great Bill Hicks said about why would the Big J ever want to see one of those again?

1,000 quotes
Wow. Here’s the 1,000th quote added to my collection:
The world is like a ride at an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think that it’s real because that’s how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills, and it’s very brightly coloured, and it’s very loud and it’s fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question – is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us. They say ‘Hey! Don’t worry, don’t be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride.’ And we… kill those people.
~ Bill Hicksslip:4a1000.
I don’t “use” the numbers in simple 1, 2, 3, … order. Often I find several quotes from one person at the same time. I don’t want 20 quotes in a row from Leo Tolstoy in the daily quotes podcast. I space them out and end up with a smattering of numbers used out of order. So I keep a little list:
Each time I find a quote, I look to find the next number. When I used 999 for a proverb I thought, “I wonder what quote will be next?” And promptly forgot all about the milestone.
Today I bounced on my take-me-to-a-random-post link (see About this site) and landed on a very old post from 2013. It was a very large block of text, much longer than what I usually quote. I trimmed it down to what’s show above and copied it into my collection. I looked up the number and …surprise! 1,000.

The #MoralMajority is neither and the fact they now claim to represent the "left" makes them all the more Orwellian. George and #BillHicks must be turning in their graves.
