This 1996 concert set is archetypal George Carlin; a comic barrage that alternates between increasingly cheesed-off rants about various aspects of American culture, and bemused observations about language. Among other subjects, he tackles abortion ("How come most people who are against abortion are people you wouldn't want to *!*@? in the first place?"), public flatulence (don't ask), the drug wars (his solution: execute the white Republican bankers who launder the drug money).
The shallowness of the phrase "bad hair day" ("Put on a hat and go to work!") and capital punishment (he advocates a return to crucifixion, on the theory that it's a method that both American Jews and Christians can really relate to) are also dissected. Typically scabrous and extremely funny stuff.
Recorded live at the Beacon Theater, New York, New York on March 30, 1996. Includes liner notes by George Carlin.
Personnel: Klem Klimeck (saxophone).
Editor: Mike "Clay" Stone .

Back In Town
$8.69
Playin' With Your Head turned out to be a landmark outing for George Carlin -- the last truly funny album he made before attempting to become his old mentor, Lenny Bruce, and spent the '90s railing against right-wingers in most unamusing fashion. The less-topical, more lighthearted routines here are complemented by Carlin's devastating sense of timing, which had never been sharper (newly sober, he'd completely ditched the stoner voice and meandering riffs that sometimes marred his '70s work) and makes even the corny and mean-spirited material work. But most of these segments, culled from a performance recorded at the Beverly Theatre in Los Angeles, are much better than that; overall, this is a fine companion piece to his 1981 classic, A Place for My Stuff, with "Losing Things" and "You're Lost" offering the same hilarious examination of a mundane and universal experience ("That's the first thing that happens when you get to heaven -- they give you back everything ...
| | George Carlin Complaints And Grievances CD (2001)
Back In Town
$6.09
Recorded live at The Beacon Theatre, New York, New York on November 17, 2001.
COMPLAINTS AND GRIEVANCES was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Spoken Comedy Album.
George Carlin's post-hippie standup boils down to two formulas: Either he is providing biting cynicism about sociopolitical demagoguery or he is making urbane, possibly even mundane observations about everyday life and pointing out the bizarre inconsistencies of it all. On Complaints and Grievances, the audio version of Carlin's HBO special of November 2001, he is hitting on all cylinders on both counts. Some might wonder why Carlin, as a native of the area and performing in New York City so soon after the World Trade Center attacks, didn't do more than a couple of cursory minutes about it, but that is his MO. Even when being topical, the comedian always seems to realize that good comedy needs to be timeless, and even the few remarks about the ridiculousness of statements like "Don't let the terrorists win" can be listened to years later without needing a ...

That George Carlin has been slinging his outrageous brand of biting social commentary and edgy humor since the early 1970s is amazing enough, but that he has even more ire, outrage, and incisiveness to sling in 2006 than when he started is all the more impressive. Like much of Carlin's ...
