Product Description
His radical routines made him the heir apparent to Lenny Bruce. His lifestyle contributed to his image as an outsider, even as he enjoyed mainstream success.
George Carlin will probably always be known best for his legendary "Seven Words..." skit. But his outspoken views and hard-hitting take on America's foibles and hypocrisy have earned him unwanted attention at times--leading to arrests and a landmark Supreme Court decision! Filled with hilarious (edited) clips from throughout his long career, this BIOGRAPHY® follows Carlin from his earliest days in stand-up to his role as a catholic cardinal in the controversial movie Dogma, which brought him back to his religious roots. In an extensive and far-ranging interview, he talks about how his anti-establishment views were formed and why they remain as staunch as ever, while friends offer a sometimes-surprising portrait of the man behind the mouth.
At age 63, he still cares enough to be seriously funny for anyone who will listen and laugh.
