Totally Bill Hicks - It's Just A Ride

Google Video Link

William Melvin "Bill" Hicks (December 16, 1961 – February 26, 1994) was an American stand-up comedian and satirist. His humor challenged mainstream beliefs, aiming to "enlighten people to think for themselves."[1] Hicks used a ribald approach to express his material, describing himself as "Chomsky with dick jokes."[1] His jokes included general discussions about society, religion, politics, philosophy and personal issues. Hicks' material was often deliberately controversial and steeped in dark comedy. In both his stand-up performances and during interviews, he often criticized consumerism, superficiality, mediocrity and banality within the media and popular culture, describing them as oppressive tools of the ruling class, meant to "keep people stupid and apathetic."

He was one of us - a Conspiracy Theorist. His spirit is *definitely* here on ATS

There is a track on Arizona Bay called "Shane's Song" and if you listen close you can hear the BLACK HELICOPTERS. I'm listening to it now. F*king brilliant all the way through.

Thanks for posting those. He was a funny and insightful guy. I put him right up there with George Carlin.
