More from George Carlin
"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."
"When you're born, you get a ticket to the freak show. When you're born in America, you get a front-row seat."
"I'm not a guru. I'm just a guy who likes to give advice."
"I'm not an icon. I'm just a guy who's done a lot of work."
"Feminists say that men are a bunch of pigs. Well, I don't know about that, but I do know that pigs are pretty smart animals. So, maybe that's a compliment?"
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.
