More from George Carlin
"Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity."
"I think it's the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is and to cross it deliberately."
"I'm not an icon. I'm just a guy who's done a lot of work."
"I'm a modern man. I've got a cell phone, a laptop, and I'm still trying to figure out how to work the damn remote control."
"I'm not a role model. I'm a warning."
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.
