"I have this feeling, man, cos you know there's a handful of people actually run everything. That's true. It's provable, it's not a fucking-I'm not a conspiracy nut. It's provable. A handful, a very small elite, run and own these corporations, which include the mainstream media. I have this feeling who's ever elected President, like Clinton was, no matter what your promises you promise on the campaign trail, 'blah, blah, blah', when you win, you go into this smoky room with the twelve industrialist capitalist scum-fucks who got you in there, and you're in this smoky room and this little film screen comes down, rrrrrrrrrr, and a big guy and a cigar (po po) 'Roll the Film'. (po po po) And it's a shot of the Kennedy assassination from an angle you've never seen before...that looks suspiciously of the grassy knoll. And then the film, the screen goes up, and the lights come up, and they go to the new President, 'Any questions?'
'Ah, just what my agenda is?'
'First we bomb Baghdad.'
'You got it.'
-Excerpt from Bill's performance at the Laff Stop in Austin, Texas (1993); included in the 'Rant in E Minor' CD (1997).
