About everything, didn't know whether this is more suited to the GF or FF but take a few minutes and listen to what the man has to say

Is this the same bloke who did the vocals on Lazy Boys "Underpants on the outside"

Meh....

 

I prefer Bill Hicks' outlook on shite

George Carlin. One of the funniest men ever on stuff like capitalism and religion. I think he died earlier this year or late last year. A true original who sometimes allowed his routines turn into a rant. Check out his 'Words that can't be used on TV'.

Isn't this the guy who just ripped off Mr. Bill Hicks?

No! He got his inspiration from Lenny Bruce, a while before Hicks came along.

bill hicks is dead (for those watching in black and white) and although his stuff is still relevant his material isn't in the public eye (not until the film gets made anyway) So if someone else is saying the same shit 15 years later then fair play for picking up the mantle.

Let's get this Hicks thing sorted right out. Carlin precedes Hicks by a good twenty years in terms of performing. Hicks was able to do what he did because of people like George Carlin: the hip, sometimes laconic, sometimes intense style that Hicks became famous for was the style developed by Carlin years earlier. I liked Bill Hicks and it's a shame that there is nobody like him in the comedy mainstream at the moment. But he would be the first to admit that he owed something of his style and material to George Carlin.

 

'Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he'll sit in a boat all day drinking beer". George Carlin.

Other way around mate. Although that's been a bit unfair on Hicks who was fantastic, but Carlin was doing what Hicks did long before Hicks. I'd imagine Hicks was a big fan of Carlion actually.

 

On what Carlin says, it's actually quite good. Some of it's correct, and plenty is of course dramatised. Big business can be terrible, but it also creates shedloads of jobs and has re-invigorated towns throughout the world. Both good and bad.
