Complaints & Grievances

Haven't heard much of t\this one yet, but will when in the mood. Carlin is one of a kind. Too bad he's not here to comment on CURRENT events.

What more needs to be said? :) This is George Carlin!!! Awesome CD. I love his humor and if you stop and think about what he says, he's right. In fact, I agree with everything he say. Every statement/joke/comment he said I always agreed with him. He and I have the same exact outlook on what he talks about. I watched his debut on the Johnny Carson Show. It was hilarious. I saw his second time on that show and it had me crying with laughter. When I think about it I still laugh like that about it. George was an absolute genius.

once is enough

I own many many Carlin CD's. This one is now my favorite! In my opinion he is at his peak in this album. The Post 911 screed is amazing and right on. Despite being anti-establishment, Carling is able to give insight positivenbness AND put in a dig at our messed up government at the same time. There is a lot of angry ranting here, and it is great stuff.People may complain about his anger but think of this: Carlin acted as the steam valve on the pressure cooker of our society. Let him blow off steam! It's better than letting the whole thing blow up!The man's voice is sorely missed.

Funny

I should of bought a cd from earlier days.

I do not know how much of his material comes from his mind, but for me I go how does this stuff come into his mind. He is beyond funny. His stuff makes you think. Could be the best ever. He does not need swear words to make you laugh. Even though there is an occasional f.....Chuck

It's George Carlin. Need I say more! I love all his albums and HBO Specials. I truly miss him, especially now with the present political insanity-when we really need him as a 'reality' spokesman.

After the comedy genius of Peter Cook opened up the floodgates of alternative comedy with  Derek and Clive , there have been many imitators and comedians who use shock, rather than craft, to get a laugh.But, rather like a master such as Picasso versus the most modern art, you can still spot the talented craftsman from the pretentious imitator.George Carlin, after 40+ years of professional stand-up was a man who knew his craft and hence could be very clever and innovative at exploring shocking subjects and getting the maximum number of laughs out of them. If you don't believe me, listen to a sample of the final track ('Why we don't need the 10 Commandments') and tell me of a comedian who could have equalled his comedic economy of language.This CD is not for the faint-hearted and, although Carlin had craft, his material is no-holds barred. As an example (that won't get edited by Amazon for profanity!), there is track 2 - where he discusses how you shouldn't stop if you run over someone in a car - "Who has time?!"There is also the introductions to each of the 'People who ought to be killed' tracks:"Here's some more parents who ought to be beaten with heavy clubs and left bleeding in the moonlight"and "Here's another pack of mutants who ought to be pencilled in for a sudden meeting with the Angel of Death".Essentially this CD is split into 5 sections - the intro (about 9/11*), Traffic accidents (as above), 'Things that come off your body', 'People who ought to be killed' (majority of the CD) and, finally, his notorious treatment of the 10 commandments.Unlike  You Are All Diseased , the *whole* CD is worth listening to and still comes over as fresh and very funny (depending on taste).Naturally, as with most of his work, the last track is the best one, but the material off the start of the CD is also first-rate.The one fault I'd single out though is that too much of the material is basically comedic-rant. This was worse on the aforementioned previous album and, although funny, it is a little too much on here.Still, given the title, it is to be expected.Overall, I'd say this CD is under-rated and provides a first class example of the art of stand-up.If only George Carlin were still with us today (to teach our comedians), then we would be saved the amateurish efforts of the shockingly inept.* - Something interesting I noted from this CD is that it was recorded a mere 2 months after 9/11, making George Carlin the first brave atheist to speak out against religion after 9/11. Before  Dawkins , even before  Harris , there was Carlin. Derek and CliveYou Are All DiseasedDawkinsHarris

Proberbly one of my favourite George Carlin performances. Well worth getting!
