Cant Keep Quiet! » George Carlin http://cantkeepquiet.com "Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so." - Douglas Adams Fri, 13 Aug 2010 22:25:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 en hourly 1 More Carlin Favorites http://cantkeepquiet.com/2008/06/27/more-carlin-favorites/ http://cantkeepquiet.com/2008/06/27/more-carlin-favorites/#comments Fri, 27 Jun 2008 23:36:01 +0000 Laura http://cantkeepquiet.com/?p=1216 I just wanted to share some more of my favorite Carlin pieces

George Carlin http://cantkeepquiet.com/2008/06/23/rip-george-carlin/ http://cantkeepquiet.com/2008/06/23/rip-george-carlin/#comments Mon, 23 Jun 2008 17:07:17 +0000 Laura http://cantkeepquiet.com/?p=1215 George Carlin died last night of heart failure. He was 71.

I never got to see Carlin perform in person. When he came to Orlando I remember having a prior obligation so I missed seeing him perform.

In 1978, Carlin ended up in a court battle in front of the Supreme Court over his “Seven Words” routine. The Supreme Court ruled that the routine was indecent, but Carlin continued to perform the routine. As a result, he was arrested several times. All of the cases were dismissed.

Here’s that routine
