More from George Carlin
"I'm not a philosopher. I'm just a guy who thinks a lot."
"I have as much authority as the Pope. I just don’t have as many people who believe it."
"I’m a modern man, digital and smoke-free; a man for the millennium. A diversified, multi-cultural, post-modern deconstructionist; politically, anatomically and ecologically incorrect."
"I'm not a pessimist. I'm a realist. I just think the world is a fucked-up place."
"I like it when a guy is so stupid he doesn't know he's being made fun of. That's funnier than anything."
About George Carlin (1937-2008)
American stand-up comedian whose 'Seven Words You Can't Say on Television' (1972) reached the Supreme Court and reshaped US obscenity law. Closely associated with Richard Pryor (countercultural-comedy peer) and Lenny Bruce (predecessor in obscenity-law fights). For an intellectual contrast, see Tipper Gore, co-founder of the Parents Music Resource Center — the PMRC's 1985 Senate hearings on 'explicit' content labeling are exactly the cultural-establishment force Carlin's free-speech comedy was organized against.
