Myself, I was dissing the Hicks' material I recently sampled, but not certainly praising Leary because, yeah: stealing is stealing.
I do like this video better than the audio clips I had sampled, which were all from Rant in E-Minor and were lovingly selected just for me by YouTube's recommendations algorithm. But that's low praise; there isn't anything that got more than a half-smile out of me here.
I'm sure there is some Hicks material out there that I would find funny and/or thought-provoking but I'm establishing my first impression of him only now and it is one that makes me think my time would be better spent pursuing other performers.
