I saw Bill Hicks 15 years ago, at Carolines when it was at the South Street Seaport. It was an August night, either Friday or Saturday -- I never laughed that hard for that long in my entire life. My sides hurt for three days.
Not just funny, but astute, satirical, biting commentary -- AND funny. That's what made it such an amazing show.
Hicks has plenty of material on CD, check out any of these shows.
This is very similar to what I saw:
Revelations
Performed in the UK in the early 90's
You're in the right place. It's Bill.
I'm living out in Los Angeles now so, you know, I like coming over here, you
know, for the weather. You guys have weather. Cool. Los Angeles, every day, hot
and sunny, today, hot and sunny, tomorrow, hot and, for the rest of the... hot
and sunny, every single day, hot and sunny. And they love it. "Isn't great,
every day, hot and sunny?" What are you, a fucking lizard? Only reptiles feel
that way about this kind of weather. I'm a mammal, I can afford coats, scarves,
cappuccino and rosy cheeked women.
LA is the home of the pedestrian right of way
law. What this law is, is if a pedestrian decides to cross the road, anywhere or
any time on the road, every car has to stop and let this person cross the road.
Yes, 'cos only in LA does common courtesy have to be legislated. Ha ha ha Every
car has to stop. Pretty ludicrous in light of the city we're in now right, if
someone steps in front of your car here, you speed up and turn your wipers on
you know. "Bum ch, bum ch. Bad call brother. Rrr." "Must've had a bad day. I
don't know." Stupid law. How may of y'all wondered like I did during the LA
riots, when those people were pulled out of their trucks and beaten half to
death. How many of y'all wondered like I did: Step on the fucking gas, man!
They're on foot, you're in a truck... I think I see away out of this! That
pedestrian right of way law. People are driving home, a gang of youths stepped
in front of their truck, Molotov cocktails, clubs in hand, everyone of these
idiots: Screeech. (Mimes waving people across road) (Mimes being pulled out of a
vehicle by the hair) I guarantee you that Reginald Denney, that truck driver.
Never gonna stop again as long as he lives. Could be an old woman with a baby
carriage crossing the road, he's: Urrr, urrrrr. "Not today, baby."
Not a time to quit smoking kids, hahaha But I
fucking did it. And yes, I miss' em. It is hard to quit smoking. Everyone of
them looks real good to me right now. Every cigarette looks like it was made by
God, rolled by Jesus, and moistened shut with Claudia Schiffer's pussy right now
Wwwww. "Golly that looks tasty" Every time I'm here something weird happens.
This time Bush lost. Cool.
ON IRAQ AND POLITICS
People ask me where I stood politically you
know. It's not that I disagree with Bush's economic policy or his foreign
policy. But that I believe he was a child of Satan here to destroy the planet
Earth. Yeah, I'm a little a little to the left there, I was. I was leaning that
way. Yeah you know who else is going, little Quayle boy. Little Damien. Is that
guy Damien? Tell me those blank empty eyes aren't gonna glow red in the very
near future. [eyes roll back in head] Stop makingjokes about meee. Nrrr. I'll
spell potato any fucking way I want. Nrrrr. Rioters in LA, let's nuke them. Bush
was a pussy Nrr He held me back. Frightening people man. Bush tried to buy votes
towards the end of the election. Goes around, you know, selling weapons to
everyone, getting that military industrial complex vote happening for him. Sold
160 fighter jets to Korea and then 240 tanks to Kuwait and then goes around
making speeches why he should be Commander-in-Chief because, "We still live in a
dangerous world." Thanks to you, you fucker!
What are you doing? Last week Kuwaitis had
nothing but rocks! They're arming the fucking world man. You know we armed Iraq.
I wondered about that too, you know during the Persian Gulf war those
intelligence reports would come out: "Iraq: incredible weapons - incredible
weapons." How do you know that? "Uh, well... We looked at the receipts Haar."
"Ah but as soon as that cheque clears, we're going in." "What time's the bank
open? 8? We're going in at 9." "We're going in for God and country and democracy
and here's a foetus and he's a Hitler. Whatever you fucking need, let's go. Get
motivated behind this, let's go!" Ohoh looks like Mr. Major was on the hot seat
there for a second too. Little Iraqgate, little rapscallion he is. "Did we send,
did I... did... I'll have to check Maggie's old calendar." What's funny about
this. Every one of your papers says that you guys sold Iraq "machine tools"...
which Iraq then converted into military equipment. I have news for you folks, a
cannon is a machine tool. Your Orwellian language notwithstanding, it's a
fucking machine, it's a tool. Our papers in the States have the same thing.
We sold Iraq "farming equipment" which Iraq
then "converted". How do they do this? "Simsalabim simsalabim aa salabim sim sim
sim salabim." Wow! It was a chicken coop, it's now a nuclear reactor!" "This
war's for Aladdin." Farming equipment which they converted into military, okay,
you got me I'm curious, exactly what kind of farming equipment is this? "Oh
okay, well it's stuff for the farmers of Iraq." Yeah? What? "Ooh okay, ar well
ooh one of the things we gave them was for the little farmer, a new thing we
came up with called er the er, flame-throwing rake." "No it was for the farmer,
see. He would rake the leaves and then just turn around Boooo." "But you know
what the Iraqis did with that?" There's no trees in Iraq, what are you sending
them rakes for, you asshole? "We could have done our research better perhaps
yes." What else did you sell 'em? "Okay er one of the other things we gave 'em
was a new thing... for the farmer." "The, er, armoured tractor." "No, see,
farmers when they farm look over their shoulders at times and they won't see a
tree and they'll hit it maybe and there'll be a wasps nest in the tree and the
wasps will come in and sting 'em." "So we put four inches of armour all over the
tractor. And a turret to shoot pesticides on the wasps." "Yeah but you know what
the Iraqis did with that?" "Can't trust 'em." I'm so sick of arming the world
and then sending troops over to destroy the fucking arms, you know what I mean?
We keep arming these little countries then we go and blow the shit out of em.
We're like the bullies of the world, you know. We're like Jack Palance in the
movie Shane... Throwing the pistol at the sheep herder's feet: "Pick it up." "I
don't wanna pick it up mister, you'll shoot me." "Pick up the gun". "Mister, I
don't want no trouble huh. I just came down town here to get some hard rock
candy for my kids, some gingham for my wife. I don't even know what gingham is,
but she goes through about 10 rolls a week of that stuff. I ain't looking for no
trouble mister." "Pick up the gun." Boom bom "You all saw him. He had a gun."
ON KENNEDY ASSASSINATION
Kennedy, I love talking about the Kennedy
assassination because to me it's a great example of, er, a totalitarian
government's ability to, you know, manage information and thus keep us in the
dark any way they... Oh sorry wrong meeting... Ah shit. That's the meeting we're
having tomorrow at the docks. [winks] I love talking about Kennedy. I was just
down in Dallas, Texas. You know you can
go down there and, er, to Dealey Plaza where Kennedy was
assassinated. And you can actually go to the sixth floor of the Schoolbook
Depository. It's a museum called... 'The Assassination
Museum'. I think they named that after the assassination. I can't be too sure
of the chronology here but... Anyway they have the window set up to look exactly
like it did on that day. And it's really accurate, you know, cos Oswald's not in
it. "Yeah, yeh so wow that's cool." Painstaking accuracy, you know. It's true,
it's called the 'Sniper's Nest'. It's glassed in, it's got he boxes sitting
there. You can't actually get to the window as such but the reason they did that
of course, they didn't want thousands of American tourists getting there each
year going [Mimes looking out of window] "No fucking way! I can't even see the
road. Shit they're lying to us. Fuck! Where are they? There's no fucking way.
Not unless Oswald was hanging by his toes, upside down from the ledge. Either
that or some pigeons grabbed onto him, flew him over the motorcade... Surely
someone would have seen that. You know there was rumours of anti-Castro pigeons
seen drinking in bars... Someone overhead them saying 'coup, coup' Coo.
Unbelievable. And you know what's wild, people's, er, attitudes in the States
about it. Talking about Kennedy, people come up to me: "Bill, quit talking about
Kennedy, man. Let it go. It's a long time ago - just forget about it." And I'm
like alright, then don't bring up Jesus to me. As long as we're talking shelf
life here. "Bill, you know Jesus died for you." Yeah, well it was a long time
ago. Forget about it! How about this. Get Pilate to release the fucking files.
Quit washing your hands Pilate - release the goddam files. Who else was on that
grassy Golgotha that day? "Bill, it was just, you know, hur, taking over of democracy by
a totalitarian government, let it go."
ON CHRISTIANITY
That's another good thing about Bush being
gone, man, cos for the last 12 years with Reagan and Bush, we have had
fundamentalist Christians in the White House. Fundamentalist Christians who
believe the Bible is the exact word of God, including that wacky fire and
brimstone Revelations ending, have had their finger on the fucking button for 12
years. [Eyes roll back in head] "Tell me when Lord, tell me when. Let me be your
servant Lord." Fundamentalist Christianity - fascinating. These people actually
believe that the bi.., er, the world is 12 thousand years old. Swear to God.
What the..? Based on what? I asked them. "Well we looked at all the people in
the Bible and we added 'em up all the way back to Adam and Eve, their ages - 12
thousand years." Well how fucking scientific, okay. I didn't know that you'd
gone to so much trouble. That's good. You believe the world's 12 thousand years
old? "That's right." Okay I got one word to ask you, a one word question, ready?
"uh huh." Dinosaurs. You know the world's 12 thousand years old and dinosaurs
existed, they existed in that time, you'd think it would have been mentioned in
the fucking Bible at some point. "And lo Jesus and the disciples walked to
Nazareth. But the trail was blocked by a giant brontosaurus... with a splinter
in his paw. And O the disciples did run a shriekin': 'What a big fucking lizard,
Lord!' But Jesus was unafraid and he took the splinter from the brontosaurus's
paw and the big lizard became his friend. And Jesus sent him to Scotland where
he lived in a loch for O so many years inviting thousands of American tourists
to bring their fat fucking families and their fat dollar bills. And oh Scotland
did praise the Lord. Thank you Lord, thank you Lord. Thank you Lord."
Get this, I actually asked one of these guys,
OK, Dinosaurs fossils - how does that fit into you scheme of life? Let me sit
down and strap in. He said, "Dinosaur fossils? God put those there to test our
faith." Thank God I'm strapped in right now here man. I think God put you here
to test my faith, Dude. You believe that? "uh huh." Does that trouble anyone
here? The idea that God.. might be.. fuckin' with our heads? I have trouble
sleeping with that knowledge. Some prankster God running around: "Hu hu ho. We
will see who believes in me now, ha ha." [mimes God burying fossils] "I am God,
I am a prankster." "I am killing Me." You know, You die and go to St. Peter...
"Did you believe in dinosaurs?" "Well, yeah. There was fossils everywhere" Thuh
[trapdoor opens] "Aaaaaaarhhh!" "You fuckin idiot." "Flying lizards, you're a
moron. God was fuckin' with you!" "It seemed so plausible, ahhhh!" "Enjoy the
lake of fire, fucker!"
You ever noticed how people who believe in
creationism look really unevolved? Ya ever noticed that? Eyes real close
together, eyebrow ridges, big furry hands and feet. "I believe God created me in
one day" Yeah, looks liked He rushed it. They believe the bible is the exact
word of God - Then they change the bible! Pretty presumptuous, hu huh? "I think
what God meant to say..." I have never been that confident. Next we have a bible
out called 'The New Living Bible', it's the bible in updated and modern English.
I guess to make it more palatable for people to read. But its really weird, when
you listen to it. "And Jesus walked on water. And Peter said, 'Awesome!'"
Suddenly we got Jesus hanging ten across the Sea of Galilee. Christ's Bogus
Adventure, you know. Deuteronomy 90210, you know.
Such a weird belief. Lot of Christians wear
crosses around their necks. You think when Jesus comes back he's gonna want to
see a fucking cross, man? "Oaww" May be why he hasn't shown up yet. "Man,
they're still wearing crosses. Fuck it, I'm not goin, dad. No, they totally
missed the point. When they start wearing fishes I might show up again, but...
Let me bury fossil heads with you Dad, Fuck em - Let's Fuck with them! They're
fuckin with me now, lets get em. Give me that brontosaurus head, Dad."
KENNEDY AGAIN
You know, kinda like going up to Jackie Onassis with a rifle pendant on, you know. "Thinkin'
of John, Jackie. We love him. Just tryin to keep that memory alive, baby."
[mimes sniper, mimes being shot in the head] Back and to the left, back and to
the left, back and to the left, back and to the left. Which, by the way, that
action you see Kennedy's head go through in the Zapruder film - caused by a
bullet... [points behind him] comin from up there, ha. Yes, I know it looks to
the layman or someone who might dabble in physics... This action here would be
caused by a bullet coming from... Well... [thinks] Up here, did you see that?
Did everyone see that? Yeah, but no. What happened was Oswald's gun went off,
causing an echo to echo through the buildings of Dealey Plaza and the echo went
by the limo on the left up into the grassy knoll hitting some leaves causing
dust to fly out which 56 witnesses testified was a gun shot, cos immediately...
Kennedy's head went over. But the reason his head went over is cause the echo
went by the motorcade one the left and he went "What was that?"
So there, we
have figured out, go back to bed America, your government has figured out how it
all transpired. Go back to bed America, you government is in control again.
Here, here's American Gladiators. Watch this, shut up! Go back to bed America,
here's American Gladiators. Here's 56 channels of it. Watch these pituitary
retards bang their fuckin skulls together and congratulate you on living in the
land of freedom. Here you go America, you are free, to do as we tell you, you
are free, to do as we tell you." "Oh good. Honey, I heard on the news that
they've figured out that the gun, what happened is, is that there was an echo
and Kennedy was, er, asking Jackie what it was, and that that's why his head
flew u... Honey what time's Gladiators on? Are we missing it? I'm so glad we're
free, Honey."
This happen just a few weeks ago. All these articles in the paper.
"Is Gladiators too violent? And what are we doing watching it? Is it really good
for us to watch? Is it too violent?" NO! Fuck it! Give these guys chain saws!
Let them fuck each other up good. It's not violent enough. Let these fuckin'
morons kill each other in that God Damn pit! Give them chain saws an... I want
to see a fuckin railway spike go through their eyeballs. How about this? give
everyone in the audience a pistol. "There you fuckers, bchh bchh, See who comes
out alive, bchh." You know, I'm tired of this false fuckin sanctimonious
morality about life. "Ain't life keen, haha. Let's pat ourselves on the back."
Fuck you! They want to kill each other, I'm filming it. You know.
IDEA FOR MOVIES
I had a great idea for the movies. No-one
wants to fucking hear it, I don't know why. I was watching Terminator 2 and I'm
thinking to myself, these are the most amazing stunts I have ever seen. A
hundred million dollars it cost to make this film. How are they ever gonna top
these stunts in a movie again? There's no way. Unless... they start using
terminally ill people... [laughter] Hear me out... ...as stuntmen in pictures.
Okay not the most popular idea ever, but I prefaced it with that. What you know,
some of will probably think that's cruel, don't you? "Ooh cruel, terminally ill
stuntpeople Bill. How cruel." You know what I think what cruel is? Leaving your
loved ones to die in some sterile hospital room surrounded by strangers. Fuck
that! Put 'em in the movies! Whaaat? Do you want your grandmother dying like a
little bird in some hospital room? Her translucent skin so thin you can see her
last heartbeat work its way down her blue veins? Or do you want her to meet
Chuck Norris? Why be so selfish as to deprive her of that thrill? "Tom how come
you dressed my grandmother up as a mugger?" "Shut up and get off the set.
Action! Push her towards Chuck." Whurf. [Bill does a flying karate kick] "Wow he
kicked her head right off her body! Did you see that? Did you see my grammie?
She's out of her misery. I just saw the greatest fucking movie of my life.
Cool!" Okay not the most popular idea ever. All I'm saying is people are dying
every day, and movies are getting more and more boring. [Webbs fingers together]
"I am the weaver." I don't know.
"Is American Gladiators too violent? Ooh I
don't know." Watch the fucking news man, it's frightening. What could be worse.
You watch the news these days you know, it's unbelievable. You think you you
just walk out your door, you're immediately going to be raped by some
crack-addicted, Aids-infected, pit-bull, you know. Horrible news stories, you
know. "Honey, I'm gonna check the mail... "Rrrrar, rrrrar, rrrrar, rrrrar,
rrrrar!" [mimes being attacked by a pitbull] "Whaddya we stay inside tonight
baby? Let the pizza delivery guy deal with that shit out there. Hello, pizza
delivery, could you send another car over please. I know that's your third one,
that last guy almost made it. I can almost reach the pizza with the broom
handle. How come those pit bulls are eating your driver but they're not touching
that fucking pizza? What do they know that we don't know, hellooo?" Pretty soon
we're all gonna be locked inside our homes with no-one on the street but pizza
delivery guys and armoured cars with turrets shooting pizzas through the
mail-slots of our front doors.
Every house will glow with American
Gladiators beamed in. "We are free - keep repeating, we are free." The news is
just apocalyptic. Didn't you think with the Cold War being over, things should
have gotten better. How many of y'all were as stupid as I was in believing that?
Wow it's over - 40 years of threat of nuclear weapons - it's over, cool, cool...
Wrong! Now 12 different countries have nuclear weapons - it just got 12 times as
bad, fuck you! Life is harder now. Work hard - oops jobs are scarce, fuck you,
ha ha ha.
ADVERTISING AND MARKETING
By the way if anyone here is in advertising
or marketing... kill yourself. No, no, no it's just a little thought. I'm just
trying to plant seeds. Maybe one day, they'll take root - I don't know. You try,
you do what you can. Kill yourself. Seriously though, if you are, do. Aaah, no
really, there's no rationalisation for what you do and you are Satan's little
helpers. Okay - kill yourself - seriously. You are the ruiner of all things
good, seriously. No this is not a joke, you're going, "there's going to be a
joke coming," there's no fucking joke coming. You are Satan's spawn filling the
world with bile and garbage. You are fucked and you are fucking us. Kill
yourself. It's the only way to save your fucking soul, kill yourself. Planting
seeds. I know all the marketing people are going, "he's doing a joke... there's
no joke here whatsoever. Suck a tail-pipe, fucking hang yourself, borrow a gun
from a Yank friend - I don't care how you do it. Rid the world of your evil
fucking makinations. Machi... Whatever, you know what I mean.
I know what all
the marketing people are thinking right now too, "Oh, you know what Bill's
doing, he's going for that anti-marketing dollar. That's a good market, he's
very smart." Oh man, I am not doing that. You fucking evil scumbags! "Ooh, you
know what Bill's doing now, he's going for the righteous indignation dollar.
That's a big dollar. A lot of people are feeling that indignation. We've done
research - huge market. He's doing a good thing." Godammit, I'm not doing that,
you scum-bags! Quit putting a godamm dollar sign on every fucking thing on this
planet! "Ooh, the anger dollar. Huge. Huge in times of recession. Giant market,
Bill's very bright to do that." God, I'm just caught in a fucking web. "Ooh the
trapped dollar, big dollar, huge dollar. Good market - look at our research. We
see that many people feel trapped. If we play to that and then separate them
into the trapped dollar..." How do you live like that? And I bet you sleep like
fucking babies at night, don't you?" "What didya do today honey?" "Oh, we made
ah, we made ah arsenic a childhood food now, goodnight." [snores] "Yeah we just
said you know is your baby really too loud? You know," [snores] "Yeah, you know
the mums will love it." [snores] Sleep like fucking children, don't ya, this is
your world isn't it?
ON BASIC INSTINCT
But you know I saw this movie this year
called last year called er, 'Basic Instinct'. Okay now. Bill's quick capsule
review: Piece-of-Shit. Okay now. Yeah, yeah, end of story by the way. Don't get
caught up in that fevered hype phoney fucking debate about that Piece-of-Shit
movie. "Is it too sexist, and what about the movies, are they becoming too
dddddddd." You're, you're just confused, you don't get, you've forgotten how to
judge correctly. Take a deep breath huuh, look at it again. "Oh it's a
Piece-of-Shit!" Exactly, that's all it is. Satan squatted, let out a loaf, they
put a fucking title on it, put it on a marquee, Satan's shit, piece of shit,
walk away. "But is it too, what about the lesbian connot.. ddddd." You're,
you're getting really baffled here. Piece-of-Shit! Now walk away. That's all it
is, it's nothing more! Free yourself folks, if you see it, Piece-of-Shit, say it
and walk away. You're right! You're right! Not those fuckers who want to tell
you how to think! You're fucking right! Sorry wrong meeting again. I keep
getting my days mixed up. tomorrow, it's the meeting at the docks. Tonight it's
comedy entertainment with young Bill. Horrible film. And then I come to find out
after that film. that all the lesbian sex scenes, let me repeat that, all the
lesbian sex scenes were cut out of that film, because the test audience was
turned off by them. Ha. Boy, is my thumb not on the pulse of
America.
GOAT BOY
I don't want to seem like Randy Pan, the Goat
Boy, but er that was the only reason I went to that piece of shit. If I had been
in that test audience, the only one out front protesting that film would have
been Michael Douglas demanding his part be put back in, alright? "I swear I was
in that movie. I swear I was." "Gee Mike, the movie started. Sharon Stone was
eating another woman for an hour and a half. Then the credits rolled. I err, I
don't remember seeing your scrawny ass, Mike." "Was Bill Hicks in that test
audience?" ha ha haw. Goat boy called it like he saw it Mikey. You made your 14
mill, now hit the fucking road. Goat boy has invited some people over to see the
video premiere of the Goat-Boy Edited Version. Ha ha ha. I am Goat boy.
All its meant to do just like the Madonna sex book, is
to titilate an ever increasing nude................ that Madonna book, almost a
jaw-breaking fucking yawn did I have.Chohh Ohh. Is that it?. For 25 quid you can
actually have sex, did you know that? Twice if you're in Stoke. No, the reason I
know that, is ehh, they're having a big pottery recession there, and alot of the
women y'know who used to make pots...Cool! it's an ashtray alright! Heres a
fiver, thank you........ Cheers to you young lass."You have pleased Goatboy;
Goatboy can now dance without a limp... do de di do..I am Goatboy, I am here for
you." I need help. But what do people say about that movie Basic Instinct. 'It's
great!' Why? 'You get to see Sharon Stone's pussy',oooh the hallmark of
our......Yeah you get to see he pussy for one eight of a second, I timed it!
Don't blink you might miss the plot. That's how bad that film is, 40 minutes
into your going what a piece of shit, she goes... 'Did you just see her pussy?
No I was drinking from my coke. Dude you missed it, we got to stay and watch
this again. This could be the greatest film of the year; its so... deep.'That
caused a rumpus, a raucos? Maybe you all don't know this, maybe that's the
problem maybe, you have forgotten. Did you know there's movies you can rent with
nothing but pussy, did you all know that? Yeah wohoo! One eight of a second of
plot the rest of the film: pussy. The numbers are exactly reversed. One line of
dialogue: "I'd like to see your pussy". "Goatboys personal favourite, the peach
under pear imagery which Monet used to so such good affect in his blue ball
period . C'mer my little fruit basket " "What do you want, Goat Boy? You
big old smelly, shaggy thing?" Ho ho ho. Goat Boy is here to please you. "How?"
Ha ha ha.
Tie me to your headboard, throw your legs
over my shoulders and let me wear you like a feed-bag Pnaar wwww. "Aaargh!" Hold
onto my horns. "Goat-Booooy!" Yes my love. "You're a big old smelly thing." Ha
ha ha. I need professional help at this point I think I need a priest at this
point. "Forgive me Father for I have sinned." "What have you done my son?"
"Well, I said the word 'fuck' gratuitously." "Yes and what else, my son?" "Er...
[giggles] I lied." "Yes and what else my son?" "That's about all, oh oh one
thing I keep thinking I'm a randy goat, fucking everyone. Ha ha ha. baaaaaa"
Unless of course it's a woman priest in which case it'll go like this: Forgive
me Father for what I'm about to do. Dodoby doo. People ask me what I think about
that woman priest thing, you know. What, a woman priest? Women priests. Great,
great. Now there's priests of both sexes I don't listen to. Ha, fuck, I don't
care. Have a hermaphrodite one. I don't fucking care. Have one with three dicks
and eight titties, I don't , I don't... You know, have one with gills and a
trunk.
That would be cool. I might go see that, you
know, but... You know, I appreciate your quaint traditions and superstitions. I
on the other hand am an evolved being who deals solely with the source of life,
which exists in all of our hearts. Ha ha That middle man thing, it's wacky and I
appreciate it... Gotta run, there's a voice a-callin' me. Ha ha ha. Now you guys
are totally weird sexually. Here's why. Oh yeah, coming from Goat Boy, oh boy.
"Yes Bill, and how is that? That we have human sex? Does that bother you Bill?"
Goat Boy finds that disgusting. Where is the fun in that? Ha ha. Goat Boy loves
young girls. 16 years old ooh Goat Boy, hello. "Hi Goat Boy you big old smelly
thing. Ooh you smell like an old boot." Ha ha ha. I don't see you running away.
"I'm not scared of you... Besides, your eyes are really kind and peaceful.
Except for that fire that burns real far deep inside of 'em." Ha ha ha "Oh Goat
Boy, what's that?" That is my purple wand, and my hairy sack of magic. "You do
tricks?" Ha ha ha. "What can you do with that?" Goat Boy can make a bell ring in
your stomach "What does that bell mean?" It calls Goat Boy to dinner Ha ha.
Gnoor. "Goat Boy, aargh!" "Okay Bill, stop with the Goat boy thing, we get it
alright. It's kinda amusing but... okay." You don't like Goat boy? Goat boy is
hurt by your indifference. He wanted you to come dance with him in the pastures.
Ding ding. Goat Boy wants to string flowers through your hair, and on your head.
Do do do be do. "Why do you like young girls Goat Boy?" Because you are
beautiful. There's nothing between your legs, it's like a wisp of cotton candy
framing a paper cut. Ha ha ha. Gnor. And turn you around and open your cheeks,
it's like a little pink quivering rabbit nostril. Oh how cute! I bet your
asshole tastes better than most girls' pussies. Come here. Gnor. "Goat Boooy."
Gnor. "Shaggy old thing. I'm not going to kiss you, I don't know where your
mouth's been." Do you want me to tell you? "Okay, Bill seriously this Goat Boy
thing, it's getting weird." Ha ha Except for some of my goat children. [laughs,
points into the audience] "Mooore, Faaather, mooore, more Goat Boy, Faather. We
are your goat children. We too lay in the forest waiting for young virgins to
come." But you guys are weird, get this.
ON CENSORSHIP
I'm walking down thought the West End one day right and this bus-load of tourists from
Iowa gets off the bus. Big cow people, right?
Bump into me and I go flying into this adult bookstore. And my hands were in my
pockets and I took em out and money flew out of my hands and wafted down onto
the cash register and this guy hands me a magazine. How embarrassing. I go home
immediately to the hotel and throw it away. Toward the garbage, it breaks open,
face up on the bed. Give me a break, Lord. But I'm looking at your British
hard-core pornography which I just spent hard-core fucking dollars for. And I'm
going, "something's wrong with this." Goat Boy will figure it out! I realise
it's porno yeah just what we know and love, but there's blue dots covering all
the good shit! Woah, whaaat's going on? There's a guy standing there like this.
There's a woman kneeling, well... I believe she was like this. And there's this
big blue dot right here. What the fuck! This comes off I hope. [mimes
scratching] What you gotta buy the blue dot eraser separately. what the fuck?
I'm an adult. Don' t protect me. Let's go! Goat Boy wants his money back. You
know. And then I see a club in the West end that has this marquee sign, says
Live Sex Show On Stage. I thought what a bummer actually have to be the guy that
holds the blue dot. [Mimes moving a blue dot up and down] Alright but what's
weird is, that's your hard core porno, then you go home, turn on Channel 4 late
at night, there's people fucking yeah they're right there. No blue dot, just
people fucking right there. Free, no money, people fucking. It's a foreign film,
it's art all of a sudden. Hey. Put some subtitles in there. Here's your pussy,
here, you got it. Everyone happy? There you go, it's art, godammit. Alright, I
see. You pay, you get ripped off - free you get it all. Dig it, love it! I
I am available for children's parties by the
way. "Mommy, I want Goat Boy to come play at our house." Ha ha ha .
'Dont touch him' hahhh. I appreciate ya'll coming
out man. We're filming this for something. Probably my folks, who knows? "What
does he do again? He wont let us in, he wont let us in to see him." I'm sure my
parents will appreciate my little Goatboy act. John what is this Goat thing what
is that? " "hahahaha. I am your son father I sprung from your loins, admit it!."
[Laughter]
ON TOBACCO
Whooh! It's weird not smoking,
I'll tell you that. But I'm glad I quit y'know because I felt like to be honest
with you I was on the wrong side of the war against drugs, because I smoked
cigarettes and gave the tobacco lobbyists and the tobacco growers any more
fuckin money for the poison they spread, and advertise all over our world thanks
to: marketing! Hey [coughs] looks like that's 15 Luv. You know what I mean isn't
that wild? y'know? The war on drugs to me is absolutely phoney, its so obviously
phoney, ok? It's a war against our civil rights, that's all it is. They're using
it to make us afraid to go out at night, afraid of each other, so that we lock
ourselves in our homes and they get suspending our rights one by one. And the
fight against the war against drugs . And we're so afraid "It all makes sense to
us, it's good they're doing a good job" Because if the cared about us they'd get
rid of the number one killer: cigarettes. Kills more people than all of the
drugs times one hundred....legally. Marijuana, a drug that kills... no one....
and let's put in a timeframe... ever. Marijuana is against the law. Now you think
Pot with those kinda statistics could walk into any debate on the legalisation
of drugs with confidence don't you? "I am Pot I am going to meet nicotine and
alcohol for a debate about legality hahaha" "Wait 'til they see my stats"
"Frame up!" Why is pot against the law? It wouldn't be because anyone can grow
it and therefore you can't make a profit off it would it? hahaha I'm spit balling
but yeah ok yeah [clapping] alright yeah "Too fucking obvious Bill".
Cos I tell you what, if I
wanted to have a war against drugs or I wanted a drug to be legal, it would not
be alcohol sorry, the number two killer, or cigarettes the number one killer; it
would be Marijuana. And you would have a better world instantly in front of your
eyes.[clapping]..and I'll prove it to you. You're at a ball game, you're at a
concert, someone's really violent, agressive and obnoxious, are they drunk
[shout from audience] are they drunk or are they smoking pot? [silence] ...Exactly.[shout
from audience] Yeah they're tripping dude, thanks. That was one of the choices.
Have a fuckin cow man. We'll get to that, don't get ahead of me just cos you're
tripping right now ok? "Hey I just read Bills mind, I saw him talking about acid
while looking at the girls legs on the front row, it's weird" "Goatboy is
caught". "Goatboy is embarrassed, he is blushing under his shaggy fur" [laughs
to himself] "Goatboy whats that stuff caked around your mouth?" "Hahahaha, it's
love flakes". "Dirty old thing, you smell like a sock filled with strawberries."
"Hahaha" What was I talking about?
ON DRUGS
Oh yeah Pot. Y'know, you're at a ball game,
you're at a concert someones is really violent agressive obnoxnious drunk or
smoking pot? Drunk. Never have I seen people on pot get in a fight because, it's
impossible. "Hey buddy? Hey what?" End of argument. Say you get in a car
accident and you've been smoking pot ? You're only going 4 miles an hour.
Crashhh "Shit we hit something." Forgot to open the garage door dude". Least no
one was hurt. The garage door has to be replaced, boom!, a job is created! We
could be a self perpetuating civilisation. Pay the garage fix it guy with pot.
Boom, he walks out of your house through a plate glass window. Smassh. "Oh shit
sorry". Thats ok, cos a job has been created. We'd just be a race of people
walking around with tape and glue everywhere we go. "Hey howya doin?" "Cool, uh
oh shit, sorry, here let me get that" "oh thanks" [mimics smoking] "ok see ya"
"oh sorry let me get that'
Aaah, they lie
about marijuana. Tell you pot-smoking makes you unmotivated. Liiie. When you're
high, you can do everything you normally do, just as well, you just realise,
it's not worth the fucking effort. There is a difference. "(toke, toke, toke)
Sure I can get up at dawn (toke, toke), go to a job I hate, that does not
inspire me creatively whatsoever, for the rest of my fucking life. [toke,
toke]Or I can wake up at noon and learn how to play the sitar!" Nging nging
nging now. Pretty simple when it's spelled out in black and white isn't it? You
know. Only thing I've ever heard about pot is that pot might lower sperm count.
Good!
ON PEOPLE
There's too many fucking people in the world.
Someone needs to say that by the way. Tired of this, "Hey hey aren't we the
coolest. Humans are so neat." Too many of yer. Quit rutting, just for a fucking
day. Let's work out this food/air deal. Then go back to your rutting.
Y'know, abortion completely diviided America,
unbelievebly divisive, I've never seen anything like it. Even my friends, all
very intelligent, totally divided on abortion. Some of my friends think these
pro-life people are annoying idiots. Other of my friends think these pro-life
people are evil fucks. [clapping] How are we gonna come to a consensus? I mean
I'm torn. I think of them as evil annoying idiot fucks, but y'know I ehhhh I
take the broad view y'know. 'The broad view' A pun we found a pun!. And we
were'nt even looking for it. But even.... Y'know what bugs me? People waffling
on the idea of abortion. Even, even pro-choice people, it bugs the shit outta
me."We're not pro-abortion , we're pro-choice" " We just don't believe the
government has a right to tell us what we can or cannot do with our own bodies"
"We're not pro-abortion, we're pro-choice" Heyyy just say it. What the...... say
it! Quit fuckin walking on eggs just say it! People suck, there's too many of em,
and they're easier to kill when they're foetuses than when they're grown up. Oh
sorry did the mask fall? Let me put that back on. "Hahahaaha" Arent people the
keenest things you've ever seen? "They make Goatboy beam from ear to ear".
But I'll tell you this. Where's this idea that childbirth is a miracle
came from. Ha, I missed that fucking meeting, okay? "It's a miracle, childbirth
is a miracle." No it's not. No more than a miracle than eating food and a turd
coming out of your ass. It's a chemical reaction, that's all it fucking is. If,
you you wanna know what a miracle is. Raisin' a kid that doesn't talk in a movie
theatre. Okay, there, there, there is a goddam miracle. It's not a miracle if
every nine months any yin yang in the world can drop a litter of these mewling
cabbages on our planet. And just in case you haven't seen the single mom
statistics lately, the miracle is spreading like wild-fire. "Hallelujah!"
Trailer parks and council flats all over the world just filling up with little
miracles. Thunk, thunk, thunk, like frogs laying eggs. "Thunk, look at all my
little miracles, thunk, filling up my trailer like a sardine can. Thunk. You
know what would be a real miracle, if I could remember your daddy's name, aargh,
thunk. I guess I'll have to call you Lorry Driver Junior. Thunk. That's all I
remember about your daddy was his fuzzy little pot-belly riding on top of me
shooting his caffeine ridden semen into my belly to produce my little
water-headed miracle baby, urgh. There's your brother, Pizza Boy Delivery
Junior." "Hallelujah!" Hold on for a minute, let's figure out this food/air deal
okay? Okay. I'm just weird, you know? How about have a neat world for kids to
come to? Ha haokay it's me, fuck it. Drop 'em like fucking flies, boom, just
fill up the world with em. I just don't get it you know, I mean I'm sorry man,
you know kids are fine, just keep em away from me. Alright there, alright.
ON AIRLINES
Now get this, I've been travelling all over
the country on British Air. No smoking on British Air. Now let me get this
straight, no smoking, right, but they allow children. Little fairness, huh?
"Well smoking bothers me." Well guess what? I was on this one flight right, I'm
flying, I'm sleeping on the plane, I'm fucking "knackered". Very tired right and
I feel this tapping on my head. And I look up and there's this little kid -
loose! on the fucking plane, he's just loose. It's his playground in the sky.
And he has decided that his job is to repetitively tap me on the top of the
head. I look across the aisle at his mom. she's just smiling, you know. Guy next
to the mom goes, "They're so cute when they're that small." Isn't that amazing,
letting your kid run loose on a fucking plane. And then the kid runs over to the
emergency exit and he starts flipping that handle to the door. And the guy next
to the mom starts to get up, and I go, "Wait a minute... we're about to learn an
important lesson right here." Kwoooshh. Boy you're right, the smaller he gets,
the cuter he is. God, I wish I had a camera right now. With a telescopic lens.
Love to get a picture of his face when his pudgy little legs hit that farmhouse
down there. Aah, aah, kids. Ha hha. Stewardess, since we got a breeze in here
can we smoke now? Fairly well circulated at this point. Woosh. True story. But,
you know.
ON DRUGS AGAIN
Pot, right. Why is marijuana against the law?
It grows naturally upon our planet. Doesn't the idea of making nature against
the law seem to you a bit... paranoid? You know what I mean? It's nature. How do
you make nature against the fucking law? It grows everywhere. Serves a thousand
different functions, all of them positive. To make marijuana against the law is
like saying God made a mistake. You know what I mean, it's like God on the
seventh day looked down on his creation: "There it is, my creation, perfect and
holy in all ways. Now, I can rest." [Mimes God looking around - spotting pot]
"Oh my me." "I left fucking pot everywhere." "I should never have smoked that
joint on the third day ..shit." "That was the day I created possums. Haha. Still
gives me a chuckle." "If I leave pot everywhere that's gonna to give humans the
impression they're supposed to... 'use' it." "(sigh) Now I have to create
Republicans." And God wept. I believe is the next verse. You know what I mean? I
believe that God left certain drugs growing naturally upon our planet to help
speed up and facilitate our evolution. Okay, not the most popular idea ever
expressed. Either that or you're real high and agreeing with me in the only way
you can right now. "I forgot the code, is it two blinks yes, one blink no?" Do
you think magic mushrooms growing atop cow shit was an accident? Where do you
think the phrase, 'that's good shit' came from? Why do you think Hindus think
cows are holy? Holy shit! Why do I think MacDonalds is the Anti-Christ? That's
God little accelerator pad for our evolution. Let's think about this, man.
For
billions of years, sorry fundamentalists, we were nothing but apes. Hahahaha.
Probably too stupid to catch a cow, you know. [Mimes ape chasing and losing a
cow] [Ape spots shit] [Wipes it offf foot] [Eats mushroom - begins to giggle]
[Laughs] [Laughs] [laughs hysterically before lying back spaced out] "I think we
can go to the moon." ('Thus Spake Zarathustra' plays) [Applause] That is exactly
how it fucking happened. Except for the marketing people whose belief is, "No,
it was proven that er it might be a good market on the moon and eer and a lot of
people went up there, good numbers, good space numbers..." Urgh. Save your story
of creation please.
Not all drugs are good, now. Okay? Some of em
are great. Just gotta know your way around em that's all. Yeah I've had good
times on drugs. I've had bad times on drugs too. I mean shit, look at this
haircut. There are dangers.One time me and three friends
dropped acid drove around in my Dad's car, he's got one of those talking cars,
we're tripping, the car goes "the door is ajar". We pulled over thought about
that for 12 hours."How can a door be a jar?" "Shit I don't know but I see it, I
see it. Why would they put a jar on a car man?" I'm proud of every moment in my
life, alright? Think some of y'all have tripped here before perhaps yeah?
I used to love tripping, man. There's always one guy when you're tripping who
wants you to do something to enhance the trip. You know what I'm talking about.
"You're tripping? Oh duuude, you gotta play miniature golf." [Bill hangs onto
the table] Ha ha Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking, man. I'm just sitting
over here watching the pyramids be built by UFOs right now, but get me to that
fucking golf course. I'm watching Jesus flying around on a unicorn, but I bet
that little miniature golf would be just the thing to make this trip... peak. So
you guys can use your legs huh? No, it's just that I'm turning into a fish right
now and er how 'bout I meet you there later? Thanks, I'm pretty fucking high
right now. Thank you. You know.
You just gotta be careful, I don't know what you
gotta be, fuck it. We got pulled over tripping on acid one night, pulled over by
the cops. Don't recommend it. Cops don't appreciate fish driving around. They
frown on that. Long night, man. Cops were tapping on this window. We're staring
at him in this mirror. "How tall are you?" "A liddle cop, look at him!" "How
does he drive that big fucking car?" "Urr, there could be thousands of them,
shit!" "What are we gonna do?" "Let's put him in the jar." Made perfect sense at
that moment. Put him in a jar, poke some holes in the lid, leave him by the
road. "You'll never get us copper. Haha." "We'll send some little firemen to let
you out." "Hey I bet they know where the miniature golf course is!" "Boo! Haha..
Fuck it, they scared us." "Son d'you wanna stand up please?" "I just found the
driver." "We don't need a driver, we're playing miniature golf." True story.
Now, later, when I was released [laughter] I mean spiritually... Oh God. "I need
to see some ID." "I'm me, he's him, you're you." "Put your hands against the car
please." "Which one. The UFO, the unicorn or your cruiser?" I
I
mean why do we fear these things? I don't get it. I think an
attitude of compassion might help us alot more than fear, personally. Y'know?
And I figured out a way to perhaps make everyone happy about drugs, are ya
ready? How about this? Here's a way we can do it, make everyone happy. For those
people who believe drugs should be legalised, legalise them. And, for those
people who believe they should'nt be, they're not, they never were, don't worry,
we're cracking down. There! Now everyone is happy. I am the weaver.[Laughs to
himself] Drugs have done good things for us! Ok, not the most popular idea ever
expressed, or you're agreeing with me in the very special way that you have
learned."Is it two blinks left eye one blink right eye?" "Fuck it this is too
may rules" "Yeah Bill, just get to the dick jokes, we're with ya" "Just don't do
that Goatboy thing, that was weird" "Hahahaha, you love Goatboy admit it! Come
dance with goatboy under the moon light".
Drugs have done good things for us, if you don't believe they have, do me a
favour - take all your albums, tapes and CDs and burn em cos you know what, the
musicians who made that great music that has enhanced your lives throughout the
years? Rrrrreal fucking high, ha ha ha ho ho. ok
ON MUSIC
The
Beatles were so high they let Ringo sing a couple
of tunes. Tell me they weren't paryting, 'We all live in a yellow submarine' We
all live in a....yell ....I've never been that high. When I was having the
pyramids build the UFO dream...trip... that fuckin yellow submarine trip was on
the horizon. When I was having Jesus flying around on a unicorn I could barely
make out the periscope of the yellow submarine. 'What's that way fuckin out
there?' Past the UFOS, passed the Pyramids, passed Jesus on a unicorn, passed
the fish: its a fuckin yellow submarine. I'm not that high yet. Who's that
walking out to it with the big nose and the bad haircut? Thats fuckin Ringo! Can
you imagine how high he is right now! Fuccck! I want that Ringo
shit. And these other musicians today who
don't do drugs and in fact speak out against them? Boy, do they suck! What a
coincidence! Ball-less, souless, spiritless corporate little bitches, suckers of
Satan's cock, each and every one of them. Gnorr. "We're rock stars against drugs
cos that's what the President wants." Aw, suck Satan's cock. That's what we want
isn't it, government approved rock n roll? Whooh, we're partying now! "We're
rock stars who do Pepsi Cola commercials." Gnorr. Suck Satan's cock. Put that
big scaly pecker down your gullet. Drink that black worm jism. Drink it! Fill
your little bellies. Ha ha ha. Send in Vanilla Ice. Hello Vanilla. Says here on
your application, you have no talent, and yet you want to be a star. I think
something can be arranged. Whuh. Suck Satan's cock. Gnoor. I will lower the
standards of the earth. I will put 56 channels of American Gladiators on every
TV. I will put all the money in the hands of 14 year old girls. They will think
you are charismatic, deep and edgy. GnnooOOooOor. Send in MC Hammer on your way
out.
Hello Hammer. Back again, huh? Boy, that Hammer. There was another boat
that left me on the island, man. "Bill, are you gonna get on the Hammer boat
with us?" "No, I'd rather stay here and eat my own flesh." Beep, beep. Totally
mystifying, I mean, you know you could sit and explain it to me from now until,
well, the end of time, and I'll go, "Fucking don't get it, man." I, It.. it's
geni.. it's con, genital? it's err genetic!. Maybe it is genital, Hay, wait a
minute. Freud, come here! "Hammer's a great dancer." Whaaat? The guy's gotta a
sand crab in his knickers. [Dances] He's not dancing, he's having a fit! That's
Satan's sperm eating its way through the lining of his stomach. Gnoor. 15
minutes almost up, Hammer! Ooorgh argh. Ha ha ha. Send in Marky Mark.
Its good for the voice. Hey dont fuck with me man.
You know what I mean though, am I the only one that's fucking lost here?
ON DRUGS AGAIN
You never see positive drugs stories on the
news, do ya. Isn't that weird cos most of the experiences I've had on drugs,
were rrreal fucking positive. Er. Who are these morons they're finding that's
what I wanna know. I used to want to call the news, "Come over to our house!
Watch Tommy, he's a pig, film him!" "Oink oink." "Hee hee, he's been doing that
for hours. He's killing us. You getting all that?" You know what I mean. Always
that same LSD story, you've all seen it. "Young man on acid, thought he could
fly, jumped out of a building. What a tragedy." What a dick, fuck him! He's an
idiot. If he thought he could fly, why didn't he take off from the ground first?
Check it out. You don't see ducks lining up to catch elevators to fly South.
They fly from the ground, you moron. Quit ruining it for everybody. He's a
moron, he's dead, good. We lost a moron, fucking celebrate. Boy I just felt the
world get lighter - we lost a moron. Put on the Hammer album, I'm ready to
dance! [dances] "We lost a moron." I don't mean to sound cold or cruel or
vicious, but I am so that's the way it comes out. Professional help is being
sought.
How about a positive LSD story? Wouldn't that be news-worthy, just the
once? To base your decision on information rather than scare tactics and
superstitions and lies? I think it would be news-worthy. "Today, a young man on
acid realised that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow 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." "Wow! Did you
see the fuckin news!" By the way that thing I just did about matter is energy
condensed to a slow vibration, we are all one conssciousness experiencing itself
subjectively, and dadada, that thing I just did? Einstein proved that [laughs]
It's called quantum physics. Anyway I was tripping one day with Al, which was
really weird, cos he's dead. And I said Al do you notice the walls are fuckin
breathing right now? "Bill I noticed the same thing, I've got to jot some
numbers down real quick, I just had a fuckin idea" "I saw your head light up
like a fuckin bulb Al, this is unbelievable. Its called quantum physics, its
called the 20th century, we'll get there one day. [Mumbles] "Its against" Are
there any questions folks? [Silence] Thank you! I'm glad I inspire such fuckin
interest in ya.[What bout your parents?] My parents, my parents love my ass man.
"Bill honey do your Goatboy sketch for your Mama. Hahahaha Sean everyone at the
Church wants to know when you're gonna do that Goatboy eat the pussy routine
ehhh They all wanna come out and se my boy perform Goatboy and ehhhh "Ha thank
you father bring out your Church-going friends, let them get close to my shaggy
fur and my pungent odour. Let me see ladies drop their purses and take off their
shoes and come dance with Goatboy in the forest. Do do di doo. I dunno......my
parents. [Belinda Carylsle she's beautiful] Belinda Carlysle? Fuck you guys are
5 years behind us. Shit, How weird.
I really do love it here man. I've had a great time here, it's been
absolutely fantast....I love being over here in general. You're ehhh ,
everything is cool about it. The food....well y'know. And ehh...no y'know. First
of all you dont boil pizza.[laughter] nononono I'm not judging you. And these
chips, these chips. theyre french fries to us, you call em chips......enough! I
love french fries, don't get me wrong. If you leave here tonight....you'll be
wrong. But every fuckin time ya eat, that's too many fries, you're over your
spud quoata. I saw hookers on
London streets going "Head and chips" You may think you have gotten
good head before but unless you have a big hot piping plate of fries..... very
civilized, we could learn alot from you guys. You an ancient country steeped,
and we a young upstart nation of morons - with all the nuclear bombs! [giggles]
I don't know how it worked out that way, we were playing in the lab [laughs] and
suddenly we ruled London.[giggles] I don't get it.
CONCLUSION
You've been fantastic and I hope you enjoyed it.
There is a point, is there a point to all of this? Let's find a point. Is there
a point to my act? I would say there is. I have to. The
world is like a ride at an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you
think that it's real because that's how powerful our minds are.
[Audience member shouts 'bollocks'] There is a lot
denial in this ride, the ride, in fact, is made up of denial "All things work in
Goatboys favour". The world is like a ride at an amusement park. It goes
up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very
brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have
been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question, is this real, or is
this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us,
they say, "hey - don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because, this is just a
ride..." And we... kill those people. Ha ha "Shut him up." "We have 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 just has to be real." Just a ride. But we
always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And
let the demons run amok. Jesus mudered; Martin
Luther King mudered; Malcolm X murdered; Gandhi murdered; John Lennon murdered;
Reagan.... wounded. But it doesn't matter because: It's just a ride. And
we can change it anytime we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no
job, no savings and money. A 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 that we spend on weapons and defences each
year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the
world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we
could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace. Thank
you very much, you've been great. [Applause] I hope you enjoyed it. London,
you were fantastic, thank you, thank you very much. [bow] [bow] [three shots
ring out - Bill crumples to the ground] CUT: Bill slams against the Monolith,
and slides to the ground CUT: the riderless white horse walks along the road,
away from the camera VO: It's Just A Ride... It's Just A Ride...
