George Carlin '73

[MuggsyB]

I think being a great stand-up comedian may be the most difficult job in showbiz.  And even the very best have tons of nights where they tank for whatever reason.

Is that the one from Red Rock? Hilarious.

Yep, its phenomenal

That's good to hear because the last BB special I watched on Netflix was verrrrrrrrrrrrrry mediocre.

I was at Summerfest the night Carlin was arrested, also there the next year for the Humble Pie riot.  This was back when the main stage was just a tent with some bleacher seating and main acts were included in general admission.  I think beer was 50 cents, but I had friends who worked beer tents, so it was free along with the tickets.

I was at the concert (7/21/72) when Carlin was arrested.  He was opening for Arlo Guthrie.  Initially, my friends and I all thought the six officers coming onto the stage was part of a strange schtick.  About twenty minutes later the word came through the crowd that he had been arrested for using "The Seven Words".  In the future Carlin referred to the words as the "Milwaukee Seven".  He was a creative genius and one of my favorites.

I always found it hysterical that George Carlin, profane and crass and counter culture as he was, was Mr Conductor on a kids show like Shining Time Station and narrated other Thomas the Tank Engine cartoons

Not to mention Rufus in Bill and Ted.
