I knew after the first sentence it was Carlin without having to read the rest, this was one of the portions of When will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? that he read during the reading I went to in Boston last year! He was great!
One of my favorite interviews was with Carlin when he was doing a stand up college tour and was at Potsdam College, I interviewed him for the two college papers in town. He even recognized me when I was getting my books signed at the reading last year.
I love being in Carlin's prep audiences and then watching the HBO special after he's polished it up, it is fun to see how he changes things and how much he stays the same.
Ok scarey thing, but in my family Carlinism is our Religion/Politics. Carlin is the only thing that all 27, yes I said 27, of us can agree on! We're all different religious faiths and political ideals but my baby sister pointed out that the one and only thing we all agree on is Carlin. So she declared the family religion and political affiliation is "Carlinism". And yes George knows this and finds it hysterical that 4 generations of a family agree with him ;) Also that my family named a cat after one of his jokes...
