I wish Leary would complete his emulation of him—by dying.

Bill Hicks: Faggot or not a faggot?

He was both; he could be a faggot but also could be very funny, oftentimes in the same set.
The main problem with Hicks is that he spawned a whole generation of fags that took his shit too seriously (like Garth Ennis). A lot of his fans became the prototype for the smug, fedora wearing atheists that today bore people with lists of Biblical inconsistencies. "But the Creation story isn't true!" No shit, it's a story.
When the Religious Right were ascendant, these kinds of people were few in number and seemed like an irritating but necessary counterforce to the "God, guns, and 'murica, fuck yeah" attitude of Republicans. Now, though, you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone, even on the right, that would argue that Fundamentalist viewpoint, at least in the media.
I'm a fan of Hicks, but I hate Hicks fans. Sigh...
