 Rating: - happier than...it arrived very quickly and was in perfect condition. i laughed like i did in the 70's! Rating: - "I wanna tell you something about words..."If you're only familiar with George Carlin through his aggressive, vitriolic, and occasionally vicious latter-day material, early work like Class Clown may come as something as a surprise. On first listen, the album seems almost mild mannered. Not only is it free of the machine gun profanity that would come to mark the comedian's style, but the material itself is a far cry from the raw cynicism that would inform You Are All Diseased and Brain Droppings: The first track, for example, is an epic recollection ...

Here we can listen to a comic genius in his prime, before he became a preacher. I rank this CD up there with "No Cure for Cancer" and other comically brilliant stand-up routines. Rating:  - FunnyThis guy doesn't quite get life, but his logical mind makes some great observations about inconsistencies and things most of us have not noticed. What an imagination. I saw Carlin in Minneapolis in 1987. The experience was worth the money. There is no one like Carlin. |
