Every time I try to talk to someone at my job about Bill Hicks… No One ever knows who I’m talking about. I can now put that on my list of ‘Things That Make Me Sad For the Future of Humanity’.
On a more positive note, this past week I bought myself a copy of ‘Bill Hicks Live’. The DVD features three live acts and bonus documentary. Maybe I should lend it out to a few of my co-workers, but I’m too selfish.
Martyr…
“The first lesson a revolutionary must learn is that he is a doomed man. Unless he understands this, he does not grasp the essential meaning of his life.”
“My fear was not death itself, but a death without meaning. I wanted my death to be something the people could relate to, a basis for further mobilization of the community.”
“Too many so-called leaders of the movement have been made into celebrities and their revolutionary fervor destroyed by mass media. They become hollywood objects and lose identification with the real issues. The task is to transform society; only the people can do that-not heroes, not celebrities, not stars. The revolutionary’s place is in the community with the people.”

The inspiration for today’s Lil Loca. The original is Mi Vida Loca. This movie centered around the lives of young Mexican-American women living in Los Angeles. Written and Directed by Allison Anders (in 1994), she cast genuine gang bangers for the film. She also compiled her script from anecdotes from real girl gangs.
