"I don't do drugs anymore... than, say, the average touring funk band"
- Bill Hicks
About this Quote
This quote by Bill Hicks is a humorous way of saying that he does not do drugs. He is indicating that the average touring funk band does not do drugs either, so he is not doing anymore than them. This quote is likely meant to be a joke, as it is not likely that the typical touring funk band does refrain from doing drugs. It is possible that Hicks is making a statement about the frequency of drug use in the music market, and how it is not as common as people may think. He is likewise likely poking fun at the idea that musicians are often stereotyped as drug users. By stating that he does not do drugs more than the average touring funk band, he is suggesting that he does refrain from doing drugs at all.
