Album Review
Comedian George Carlin's definitive monologue was delivered on 1972's Class Clown album in the form of "Seven Dirty Words You Can Never Say on Television." While the majority of routines on Class Clown dealt with Carlin's self examination surrounding his Irish Catholic upbringing, he saved his controversial tour de force as the album's grand finale. The record buying public embraced the album; however, the FCC and Supreme Court held the routine as the epitome of tastelessness, threatening to yank the license of any station that dare play it over public airwaves. George Carlin ran with the torch Lenny Bruce lit a decade earlier and much to Carlin's credit, he put the dirty word issue together in a more concise and universal manner; something that, at times, escaped hipster Bruce. Class Clown was reissued on CD by Atlantic in 2000.
Recent Customer Reviews
You need this album. Carlin is quick, sharp, and has a mean bite.
by KrocsyldiphithicRude, crude, lewd, and pure genius. One of the greatest comedy albums ever. Carlin was brilliant in his delivery and discussed topics that bridged people together in laughter. It also rang true for all ages, I'll never forget seeing Carlin live in Vegas and sitting at the same table as my grandmother. I was scared at first that she wouldn't take it well, but when he walked out on stage and said "P***y Farts!" We both busted up laughing and we didn't stop the entire time he was on stage. A MUST have album for any stand-up lover.
