[kj] OT: Bill Hicks

[Leigh Newton]

Tsk, so rude. Got any more "durrr, here is evidence that this asshole ripped off this other asshole" youtube vids to show? Those never suck.

Exactly…what? If you don’t want to take
part in a thread, there’s plenty on tv on I’m sure.

With all
due respect, Brendan, this is like dredging up the ol'
"Eighties"/"Come As You Are"/"Life Goes
On"/"Baby, Come Back" debate.

Well, unfair in your opinion, I beg to differ based on how I see
it:

The perils and ramifications of smoking aren't really
"niche" material. You may not like Dennis Leary -- fair enough -- but
to accuse him of ripping off Hicks in that capacity is pretty unfair.

We were comparing them because they covered similar material, that
I’m pretty sure Hicks came up with and Leary stole. Specifically the
voicebox gag. I could be wrong, but that’s the accusation.

You seem to be equating them merely on the fact that they're
both "angry" comedians. That's not much to go on. I mean, why not
toss Don Rickles into the mix too, then?

Not a fair comparison…because?

Dennis Leary is rarely as earnest and sanctimonious as Bill Hicks
was capable of being. I love both, but it's not really a fair comparison.

LOL, don't forget Denis Leary ;)
 
From wikipeedo: 'an industry joke began to circulate about Leary's
transformation and subsequent success (roughly; "Question: Why is Denis
Leary a star while Bill Hicks is unknown? Answer: Because there's no cure for
cancer"'

The only other comedians I’d put in that category (and none
as good as Hicks) would be George Carlin, and lately, Joe Rogan, who’s a
surprising find actually.

PS: I haven’t watched this in ages so apologies if it sucks,
but from memory it’s pretty cool.

Hey everyone!
    Strange, angering, yet I am still gonna try to catch
it.  In the US David Letterman will be showing on Friday, the 30th, 11:30
EST the routine of Bill Hicks' that was never aired by Letterman in
1994 because it was considered too "controversial".  The
routine that sullied his relationship with the media to a degree.  
 
His mother Mary will also be a guest (the irony that the legal executor of the
estate is the ex attorney for Billy Ray Cyrus, but then you can't make
this shit up.).........
Damn, it has been 14 years!  Are there any comedians that are
flying under the radar that should be checked out?  I am still
looking for one whose voice is so resonant with truth and humour.
 
Bette
