[click image, video, 80 minutes]I was reminded of how hotly I wish this, earlier, when I came across a video of pertinent commentary from the dead earlier today. This long one is another one billed as a must see, and I don't doubt it, considering the guy being interviewed. I don't know if Google Video is just in panic mode at this moment or if the upload was as ghastly bad as it seems. So I downloaded it in the hope that it will be a little better that way. Still, Bill Hicks, was always and will always be someone you should try hard to hear, so try to just live with the poor quality. I am.
=============================================
Starts slow, but gets better and better. At about the 54 minute mark they show the tank shooting flames into the Branch Davidian complex in Waco. The video is very hard to see, but it does not look like the official line....
Maybe you want to contemplate that this interview took place SIXTEEN years ago, and they were talking about exactly as we are today.... I mean, I have to contemplate all the time about the decades I've been screaming about this stuff and it's only worse now. It's only worse now and STILL people are oblivious.
The whole time he's speaking, here, he knows he has pancreatic cancer that has spread to his liver. He's going for weekly chemo treatments and making all his dates... joking about going bald... more of a man at 32 than most men ever become.

Extra Credit
I, too wish he were still with us, but he might be glad to be outta here.
ReplyDeleteWe gotta hope.
ReplyDeleteStill, I can't help but think he would have matured into someone humanity couldn't live without. His "just a choice right now between fear and love" is way bigger than people twice his age come up with on their own. That kid had the power. For however rasty and off color so much of his stuff was, he had insight way more advanced than most... a natural resilience to mental conditioning that is worth more than any number of combinations of human effort all by itself.
