Weblog | I don't like the word blog, it's ugly. Anyway, new content happens here. (Swedish dito)

About me and the site | Twenty-something male who likes text. Obsessed with things such as books, reality, communication, and one or two tv-shows.

Archives | Things written here since... well, 2001. Some of it is good, some is utter shait.

Books | Books read, not books written. So far I've struggled to maintain unpublished.

Photo | I like my camera and it likes me.

Links | Outwards, away, flee.

Bought and now read all of Love all the people by Bill Hicks. It contains transcripts of a lot of shows he did, treatments for the Counts of the Netherworld as well as letters to both Letterman and Leno. And gosh, wow. It’s good. It’s really good. The man was — and I’ve said this before — a genius.

Sure, it’s not a laugh out loud funny through his whole act like Eddie Izzard’s Dressed to Kill — but then again, not even Izzard himself can live up to that show as he’s never been that funny earlier or later for that matter.

But Hicks had a message, and among comedians that is something rare and wonderful. Instead of just screaming or asking and pondering inane questions, Hicks looked at society with a critical eye and said some uncomfortable things to his audience. We could need him right about now.

Fucking FOX. Can’t someone just LART the fuckers really really hard?
