My problem with Carlin is that he tries to go out of his way to let you know how much of a bastard he is. Like in the "You are all diseased" show where he is like "I'm going to make fun of children now,and I know you will all be like "He's not gonna do it" well, he is". Don't talk about doing it you decrepit fuck,just do it. If he didn't do shit like that,he'd be more effective. Andy Kaufman never said "I'm gonna come out and read the Great Gatsby until eveyrone in here leaves or falls asleep", Motherfucker just stepped to the plate and played ball. Carlin's stuff now seems forced and that is not good. And he goes after some targets he's been hitting since Johnson was in office. Carlin needs to do more acting and less Stand-Up. Maybe his stand up is being diluted because he does it so much.That's just my opinion however. Anyone read the Time magazine article on the Columbine Kids? Didn't they just NEED an asskicking? I blame the Columbine football players for slacking off and not giving the punks the beatinsg they so richly desrerved. If they had gotten beaten earlier,their spirits would have been crushed earlier and we wouldn't still be trying to get the bloodstains out of the carpet in the library.
