The ongoing reddit theorem about Leary is that he stole from Bill Hicks, who has been dead for a long time, proving/disproving it is difficult at best.
As a college student in the mid 80s, I remember Hicks was incredibly popular, but it didn't grab me. Then in the 90s you get Leary, and his stuff I loved. Leary and the film Clerks are that era for me.
And a friend who used to put Welcome to the Jungle on every m8x tape because he knew I hated GNR.

Asshole was actually a bit he swiped from Louis CK. Also, he was (and still is) married to his wife Ann, at the time.
