Bill Hicks Drugs Have Done Good Things
[Hicks:]
See, I think drugs have done some good things for us! I really do. And if you don't believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor. Go home tonight, take all your albums, all your tapes and all your CDs and burn 'em.
'Cause you know what? The musicians who made all that great music that's enhanced your lives throughout the years?
Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreal f..ckin' high on drugs.
Man, the Beatles were so high, they let Ringo sing a couple of times.
Tell me they weren't partying.
[singing:] "We all live in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine..."
We all live in a... you know how f..ckin' high they were when they wrote that?
They had to pull Ringo off the ceiling with a rake to sing that f..ckin' song.
"John, get Ringo. He's in the corner."
"Put him-- ooh, look at him scootch! Grab him!"
"Get him! Hook his bell bottom! Hook his bell bottom!"
"He's got a song he wants to sing us. Something about living in a yellow tambourine or something."
"Ringo, Yoko's gone! Come down! We can party again!"
They were real high, they wrote great music, drugs did have a positive effect.
