4. Saw this routine in Vegas last summer.

Of course, I live in Las Vegas, so perhaps seeing Carlin in Vegas isn't so special, but anyway:

The first half is politically driven brilliance. The second hald focuses on a very personal bout with addiction, depression, and suicidal thoughts, fat people (which had me laughing almost harder than anything else, and I'm a fat guy), and his dogs.

Fifty years as a stand-up and he only gets funnier. Can't wait till ten o'clock out here.

5. I love the freedoms we used to have. n/t

[Totally Committed]

6. Is it me, or is this Special just a LITTLE dark???? eom

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

7. He's been dark for the last fifteen years.

But, dear God, the man tells it like it is.

9. George seems old and tired . . .

lacks his usual manic energy, and frankly isn't all that funny tonight . . . maybe he's depressed about the state of things . . .
