He was about waking people up. Getting in their face, if they ever did choose to come see his show, he would put everything out on a limb just to make you see the reality in which we live.
The angry humor just went along w/ that.

That's one of the reasons why Hicks annoys me: thinking he's waking people up, 'enlightening them', by making loads of obvious points about the media, right-wing politics, religion, etc: the usual pseudo-radical horseshit. You may as well say every Guardian columnist ever is a genius and a prophet - and they don't make shit jokes about smoking weed or do the Goatboy routine too.
