El Bandito of Glasslando

bill hicks, 'the avenging cowboy hero'


"I was told when I grew up I could be anything I wanted: a fireman, a policeman, a doctor - even President, it seemed. And for the first time in the history of mankind, something new, called an astronaut. But like so many kids brought up on a steady diet of Westerns, I always wanted to be the avenging cowboy hero - that lone voice in the wilderness, fighting corruption and evil wherever I found it, and standing for freedom, truth and justice. And in my heart of hearts I still track the remnants of that dream wherever I go, in my endless ride into the setting sun."

12 Years without the Avenging Cowboy Hero

It is pointless to think that you should do more of what he did. It is pointless to consider that anyone who ever heard him was forever changed. Those who weren't are empty headed cunts who never got it. End of fucking argument.
Its not cool to know him. Its life saving to hear him.
Spread the word.
