Have Lived as an Idealist... Will Die an Idealist.
As far as I'm concerned, there was no other way to proceed...
reaching for the Stars with my feet deep in the earth's soil.

"You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?" - George Bernard Shaw

7. Music is distracting. Bill HIcks had some moments of truth, no doubt.

2. I know that guy. He's still cracking jokes inside my head.

Ride around on that carousel, forever, or get off. Your choice.

Here's a better copy of his Positive Drugs monologue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vX1CvW38cHA

3. If this really were for Bill...

It would be minus the fucking piano music and without a fucking Hewlett Packard banner.. !

Bill WAS right, though, so I overlook it and just say, "Hi!" to you Bill, and "Hi!" to you, George Carlin...

Then, I'll continue to laugh at all the usual little demons over in the dungeon who comment on conspiracies on who runs the fucking world.

5. K&R

"Today, a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slower vibration. That we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death. Life is only a dream. And we're the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcM01akD0SA&feature=feedf">~Bill Hicks

6. agreed that the music overlay sucked...

but what he had to say was the main content I wanted to share...
the persistence of idealism in the face of impossibility.

8. Hicks had his moments, but he really lost me

when he started repeating debunked black helicopter crap about Waco from proven liar Linda Thompson's nutty rightwing videos, and claiming he saw a tank "shooting fire" into the compound.
