George Carlin at his best!
This is definitely one of George Carlin's best! I highly recommend this cd if you are a George Carlin fan.
He is the best
You can say a lot about Curious George, I simply love his foul mouthed style
The Godfather of cantankerous liberal humor!
This is the old school Carlin of 15 years ago. If you love George Carlin and follow his career this CD is the emerging George for the new millennium. As always he is a cantankerous liberal that mocks the outer ridge of social behavior. Carlin is not just a great comedian, but a great thinker. Let's face it he helped form the careers of Bulishi and everyone who came through Second City. He is the one of the Godfathers comedy. And he is funny, nasty, rough, and thought provoking.
This is a great gift for a liberal guy in his 50's who remembers that Carlin actually HAS made a political contribution to our society through his work on free speech. If you have no idea what to get your uncle, brother, or father for his 50Th birthday get the whole set of George Carlin. This is also a library MUST for guys at college because it will perk up any a dorm or frat house. If you are a female this artist often feels rough, sort of psycho, and angry bitter.

Not only funny, but important
It takes serious talent to make the analysis of language hold people's attention in stand-up, but Carlin mastered that before this album was made. Here he goes one step further by clearly outlining his philosophy about language, drawing several audacious lines in the sand. And he actually challenges the system in such a way that this album is important beyond its comedic value. That is, he adresses his persecution by the FCC (Federal Censorship Commitee). With all the insight of Lenny Bruce and a surprisingly humble tone, he rebukes their hypocritical acts. Thanks largely to this album, Carlin is one of only 3 or 4 comics in this century who really made a difference in the battle for free expression.
A fine scathing effort
Anyone who has followed Carlin over the course of his career can observe his "downward spiral" into the world of cantankerous, irritable social criticism. As far as that goes, this CD is hilarious, but never at the expense of humor, unless you're offended - of course, even if you are, you might still be laughing. It's a different Carlin than the guy who brought us "Shoot" and "Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television", but hilarious nonetheless.
