More from George Carlin
"I have a lot of anger. I have a lot of rage. I have a lot of resentment. And I use it. I use it in my comedy. I use it in my writing. I use it in my life."
"I like it when a guy is so stupid he doesn't know he's being made fun of. That's funnier than anything."
"I'm not concerned about all hell breaking loose, but that a PART of hell will break loose... it'll be much harder to detect."
"I have a lot of problems with 'the system.' But you know what I do when I encounter a system I can't handle? I don't try to change it. I don't complain about it. I just find a way to get around it."
"I'm not a fan of anything. I'm just a guy who's trying to get through the day without pulling my hair out."
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.
