Laughing All The Way Home.
Next to Richard Pryor and Lenny Bruce, George Carlin was defiantly a comedian that we grew up with and can still recite any one of their routines word for word, and got in trouble from our parents for it. If it wasn’t for Richard and George, there wouldn’t be an Eddie Murphy or Dennis Leary, these comics find that edge and intentionally jump across, then jump back just it to see a reaction. Nine times out of ten, there were BIG reactions.
The “Seven Bad Words” masterpiece was so ahead of its time, that it still hold true today. Carlin premiered this bit to a stunned audience at Milwaukee’s Summerfest in 1972 that got him arrested.
The funny thing about George was that he had a knack for taking everyday mundane life and things, and put it into a story that we all could understand and laugh at. I can only imagine what Mr. Carlin was saying last week about Tim Russert, “Damn it, how much longer are they gonna talk about him? I’ll show them.” George played everything from small bars to the grandest of stages, now he’s playing on the grandest stage of them all, for one hell of an audience.
WARNING: By Clicking play, YOU WILL HEAR ALL of the SEVEN BAD WORDS that are rude, crude, laced with profanity, and funny.
Thanks George, for everything you gave us, and thank you for letting us see the funny side of life, and yes, those “Seven Words”.
