George Carlin: You Are All Diseased
Its a CD. So its comedy? So what?
This may be some of the most angry comedy I've heard from Carlin, but, to be fair, it may also be some of his best.
As is most GOOD comedy these days, Carlin does some legitimate social commentating, not just dumb jokes on race or "dick and fart jokes."
Carlin's You Are All Diseased takes a look at airport security (This is pre-9/11), germs, American Bullshit, and even God.
Sometimes I feel a bit awkward because my strict judeo-christian american upbringing claims that what he is saying is wrong, but the intelligent part of me can't help but agree, even in the Airport Secuirty bit. His discussion on germs is genius and I 200% agree with him. And, of course, he takes shots at silly older white guys who truck their motorcycles to bike events. Yes, he did lighten up for this one.
In the end: Anyone who knows Carlin should know what you're getting into. If this is your first foray into the mind of George Carlin, I might suggest something a little more calm, like Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics.

Nooooo. Parental Advisory isn't one of his best. People might just go Meh.
"Jammin' in New York" and "What am I doing in New Jersey" are better recommendations I think.
