Album Description: Explicit Version. One of America's first and funniest counterculture comics rips into society's sacred taboos and institutions in a new, uncensored evening of stand-up comedy. Carlin's 14th and final HBO stand-up special delivers dead-on, laugh-out-loud insights on such issues as: the advantages of being old, child worship and the failure of the so-called "self-esteem" movement. In other words, our abnormal preoccupation with BS.

Rating: - HE WAS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was the last show I saw him in, and I think he was
FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!! He never held back, you either liked it or you didn't, I did and will miss his truthful humor.
Every time he came to town I saw his performance, a few times he was testing new material for his HBO specials, which he would know what was good, great or a flop! Now I look forward to Lewis Black to kind of take his place. I was to young for Lenny Bruce, but that is where he took over, and thank goodness for that, I will surely miss him! Lynda C.

Parts of this were very funny and insightful. The sad part is it doesn't sound like old George made peace with the Lord.
Rating: - Carlin - Great example of what's wrong with censorship

I bought this cd for my dad for his birthday. He loves George Carlin and loves having the cd for his car.
Rating: - It's BAD FOR YA, is actually good for ya!
I have been a fan of the late George Carlin for many years. His latest and last performance is simply his best work yet. I have listened to the CD 4 times, and could not stop laughing through the entrie episode. I have laughed so hard that there are tears in my eyes, where at times I have had to pull over and dry them. If you love Georgey's flawless logic, you will love this rendition of his humor. Simply the best! I wish his wife and family my true condolences, and no one will ever even come close to replacing the truely one of a kind show business legends and one of america's greatest comedians. ... Read More
