I don't know much about George Carlin. I have to admit, I've only just discovered him. I know! Shame on me. What I have learned though, is that this man wasn't afraid to face the demons, and then tell them they were wrong.
So George Carlin has been making people laugh since the 60's. Wow. You know, when you think about it, back in those days, there were more states that had the death penalty, they had corporal punishment in schools...but still, these people, comedians, would get up on stage and make fun of religion and world leaders. Mostly without reprisals!
I think they can get away with this type of stuff and continue to gain more fans over the years because they're not lecturing you, they're not bashing you over the head with a protest banner. No, they are usually up there saying what you are thinking, but are afraid to say yourself! This is why we laugh.
Unfortunately George Carlin passed away on June 22nd, 2008. His way of looking at this weird planet we share will be sadly missed.
Visit George's website www.georgecarlin.com. You can have a humorous educational night-in with him by buying his DVD "Its Bad For Ya", but before that, I'll offer up a clip of Mr. Carlin explaining why saving the planet is stupid.
