Frases de Bill Hicks
página 2

William Melvin "Bill" Hicks fue un comediante y monologuista de Stand-up estadounidense, crítico social y músico nacido en Valdosta, Georgia. Su material, a menudo controvertido y con toques de humor negro, toca temas como la religión, la política y la filosofía.

A los 16 años de edad comenzó a actuar en el Comedy Workshop en Houston, Texas, cuando aún iba al instituto. Durante los años 80 hizo actuaciones a lo largo de los Estados Unidos e hizo varias apariciones notables en la televisión. Sin embargo fue en Reino Unido donde forjó una mayor base de fanes, llenando grandes locales durante su tour de 1991. También logró cierto reconocimiento como guitarrista y compositor.

Hicks falleció de cáncer de páncreas el 26 de febrero de 1994 en Little Rock, Arkansas, a la edad de 32 años. En años subsecuentes, especialmente tras el lanzamiento de diversos álbumes póstumos, su trabajo ha ganado una mayor aclamación en los círculos creativos, creando un seguimiento de culto considerable. La revista Rolling Stone lo ha calificado en el puesto número trece en su lista de los 50 mejores cómicos de stand-up de todos los tiempos. Wikipedia

Bill Hicks: Frases en inglés

“Let me tell you about gays in the military. I don't want any gay people hanging around me while I'm killing kids. I just don't want to see it.”

Variante: I don't want any gay people hanging around me while I'm killing kids. I just don't want to see it.

“Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love.”

Revelations (1993)
Contexto: The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, "Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, "Hey, don't worry; don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." And we … kill those people. "Shut him up! I've got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real." It's just a ride. But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok … But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.

“I left in love, in laughter, and in truth and wherever truth, love and laughter abide, I am there in spirit.”

Sane Man (1989)
Contexto: Rick Astley? Have you seen this banal incubus at work? Boy, if this guy isn't heralding Satan's imminent approach to Earth, huh. "Don't ever wanna make you cry, never wanna make you sigh … never gonna break your heart" … oh, I wouldn't worry about that without a dick, buddy. You got a corn nut! You got a clit! You're not even a guy! You're an AIDS germ that got off a slide! They're puttin' music to AIDS germs, they're puttin' a drum machine behind them in a metronome beat and Ted Turner's colorizing 'em, God damn it! These aren't even people man! It's a CIA plot to make you think malls are good!! Don't ya see? (Imitates stereotypical American in a robotic manner) "But Bill, malls are good! Malls allow us to shop 365 days of the year at a 72 degree heat. That must be good."
