As a big fan of George Carlin, this was an insightful and engaging read. It was also surprisingly tender, which gave a new layer to Carlin — a layer he did not often show to the public.

As a huge fan of #GeorgeCarlin, this book has me hooked. About halfway through & really enjoying it.
Carlin would have a field day with the state of the world today. 😲 Narrated by George's brother, it felt like hearing George himself tell his story. I knew much of Carlin's history, but he lived even harder than I expected.

George Carlin, comedian, actor, author, social critic, philosopher.
I posted a meme on FB earlier this week about wanting to have a dragon on my shoulder that would set people on fire that we didn‘t like. I was going to go with something intellectual for this #Quotsy but I found this and, well, it fits my mood. #invention #QuotsyJan18 #LitsyQuoteChallenge
I don't feel about war the way you're supposed to, the way we're told to by the United States government. A large part of which is the United States military, whose business is war. So the military is telling us how to feel about war--so THEY can stay in business. Something is fucked up here.
I have a confession to make. If I confess my secret to you, I would hope that you would not judge me--not think of me as a bad person. Maybe many of you, if the truth were known, would have to make the same confession. Here it is: I kinda like it when a lot of people die.
The noisier the culture becomes, the stronger your voice has to be to be heard above the din. This was a conscious thought--that I'd better raise the level of my voice and therefore the intensity of my metaphors and images and words and topics to get and keep people's attention.
I feel like I've entered The Twilight Zone and it's the 1950s again. Why? Just why?? 💔💔💔 #icant #onestepforwardtwostepsback #imwithher
