Album Description
Explicit Version. One of America's first and funniest counterculture comics rips into society's sacred taboos and institutions in a new, uncensored evening of stand-up comedy. Carlin's 14th and final HBO stand-up special delivers dead-on, laugh-out-loud insights on such issues as: the advantages of being old, child worship and the failure of the so-called "self-esteem" movement. In other words, our abnormal preoccupation with BS.

Summary: HE WAS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2008-11-09
Comment: This was the last show I saw him in, and I think he was
FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!! He never held back, you either liked it or you didn't, I did and will miss his truthful humor.
Every time he came to town I saw his performance, a few times he was testing new material for his HBO specials, which he would know what was good, great or a flop! Now I look forward to Lewis Black to kind of take his place. I was to young for Lenny Bruce, but that is where he took over, and thank goodness for that, I will surely miss him! Lynda C.

Comment: Parts of this were very funny and insightful. The sad part is it doesn't sound like old George made peace with the Lord.

Summary: Carlin - Great example of what's wrong with censorship 2008-09-28
Comment: You don't have to agree with Carlin's views about God, religion, politics in order ot enjoy his standup. Carlin, even at his worst does not resort to streams of dirty words just for the sake of saying them. Instead he explores why we classify words as network censored. His dialog is complicated and always entertaining. I don't know how some of today's comedians have a career by just yelling and trying to shock everyone. Carlin's brand of humor is provacative in he jams a lot of ideas inot a few sentences. This is his true gift, the way he uses English to convey complex thoughts, yet make it humorous.

Summary: It's BAD FOR YA, is actually good for ya! 2008-09-06
Comment: I have been a fan of the late George Carlin for many years. His latest and last performance is simply his best work yet. I have listened to the CD 4 times, and could not stop laughing through the entrie episode. I have laughed so hard that there are tears in my eyes, where at times I have had to pull over and dry them. If you love Georgey's flawless logic, you will love this rendition of his humor. Simply the best! I wish his wife and family my true condolences, and no one will ever even come close to replacing the truely one of a kind show business legends and one of america's greatest comedians. Yes folks (it's all bullshit and it's bad for ya) in reality this rendition is good for ya, because it will make you laugh and laugh.
