Class Clown


Okay, just a little more Carlin. This isn't live stand-up, but rather the Class Clown album in its entirety (finishing off with the original 7 Words). I listened to a shoddy cassette recording of this album approximately 47,000 times before it broke. The YouTube user who posted the album has turned off embedding, so here it is in delicious link form.

George Carlin 1937-2008

George Carlin just passed away, a fact about which he's either completely oblivious or (more likely) extremely pissed. Now, I could post his thoughts on death, or politics, or religion; the 7 Words are always popular, and nothing beats the old "stuff" schtick. But the one time I saw him perform (in Vegas, in '99 or '00, I think) he finished with the Baseball and Football routine, which was and remains my favorite.

Be excellent to each other.
