Comedian / satirist / critic George Carlin is in peak form in these satiric sketches from the 1990s--not previously broadcast on New World Notes. With sharp and strong satire he skewers much of American culture and politics. A gentler satiric style is included as well, in Carlin's comic discussion of the silly idioms (such as "down the tubes") we use in American speech.
All (now) suitable for airplay. (Grumble!)
With a little commentary, here and there, by KD.
I am indebted to Free D. People, who was host of the show "Talk" on Colorado Free Radio. Talks 2-hour uncensored tribute to George Carlin, issued following the performers death in 2008, was the basis for New World Notess highly edited selection. A copy of Talks mp3 podcast may be hiding at radio4all.net: a recent search by r4as search engine failed to list it. (See the r4a site administrators note at the top of the page.)
New World Notes is produced under the auspices (Latin for "weatherâ) of WWUH-FM, a community service of that beacon of light in darkest Connecticut, the University of Hartford.
George Carlin, 1937-2008. R.I.P. and thanks.
