  • Saw George Carlin

    Got to see George Carlin tonight. At 68 years old, he's still very much on top of things. It's amazing to really sit there and watch him do his business. I heard a lot of new (hilarious) stuff and everybody I saw laughed their ass off. Great comedian. Quite a seasoned professional, through and through.

    Is he still his post-modern angry little self?

    The last time he was funny to me was about 1985. Since then, nothing much more than bile.

      Actually, no. He's lost a bit of that angry-little-man syndrome and gone back a bit to his happy-go-lucky self again. I think that losing his wife might've caused the anger to come out in him. But he did older classics such as the "Hippy-Dippy Weather Man" and his dog routines, as well as some of the attacks on corporate and middle America.

        I'm jealous of you, despite last night's little part-ay! George Carlin once did stand up not too far from here, and I had no choice but to not show up.

          I saw him years ago, in 1991, I think. He was not as angry back then compared to what he was in the late 90s. But even then, he was funny.

          Anyone remember the football/baseball classic?

            In football, you wear a helmet.

            In baseball, you wear a cap!

              Baseball is played in a park, the baseball park.

              Football is played in a stadium, War Memorial Stadium!
