Kristen Gwynne published a piece on AlterNet about Bill Hicks, who would have turned 50 years old last Friday had his life not been cut short by pancreatic cancer in 1994. As a celebration of his birthday, she selects some of her favorite Hicks quotes—one of which is particularly notorious:
A lot of Christians wear crosses around their necks. Do you think if Jesus comes back he ever wants to see a fucking cross? It’s kind of like going up to Jackie Onassis wearing a sniper-rifle pendant.
“Hey Jackie, just thinking of John. We loved him.”
