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.
Customer Reviews
Oh no!!!!!
One of my proudest moments in life (as well as my most frustrating) is when my father confiscated this album from me in 1978. He walked into the room, perfectly timed, as Carlin was reciting the seven words you can't say on TV. The shocked look on my dad's face was classic, and I'm sure Mr. Carlin would have been proud.

You will be missed, old friend.
One of a kind
I became a fan 25 years ago at the age of 12, watching Campus or Carnegie or both, late at night on HBO. I'm crushed. He kept it real, always. Who's up for a symbolic recital of the Seven Dirty Words, at Pat Robertson's house, right now?! George would be proud....
