You Are All Diseased [Explicit Lyrics]

Amazon.com
As America's preeminent inheritor of Lenny Bruce's singular comic legacy, George Carlin has long been the dangerous comic it's safe to love. But as America itself has co-opted the "free expression" Carlin holds so dear, he has become a foot soldier without a battlefield. Sadly, Carlin's new album You Are All Diseased--culled from his 1998 HBO special--finds him crossing the line into near-total social impotence. His take on such "cutting edge" topics as airport security, cigar smoking, and the Clinton-Lewinsky affair couldn't get a rise out of a factious prison inmate, and his failure to find subversion in subtlety is more obvious than ever. Carlin's riffs on religion and terrorism are sloppy, valuing hollow extremity over the cutting observation that characterized 1996's Back in Town album. There are a few classic lines here--"If white people are gonna burn down black churches, then black people oughta burn down the House of Blues"--but more often than not, this grumpy old man sounds like a certain Dana Carvey character of the same disposition. Where's the danger in that? --Matt Hanks

The Best Work From A Brilliant Comic.......2007-03-08

This was made when George was at his peak. From the hilarious tale of making an entire state a prison to the ridiculous airport security (pre-9/11). George is the most brilliant comic out there. His delivery is pin-point accurate and his political musings make a lot of sense. He is the man with a lot of time on his hands who reminds us of things we have no time to normally think about!

george carlin is funny.......2007-01-10

even though he is funny he is basically a cd on repeat its been the same stuff since the 70's and its kinda getting old

Pure genius.......2006-12-21

Thank goodness there are people like Carlin in the world who can go against the majority. I imagine the only people giving this CD a bad review are those who prefer to bury their heads in the sand and dismiss all unpleasant thoughts. Carlin is not always trying to be "funny", he provokes actual thought. Wow what a concept. This albumn is both hilarious and intelligent, if you just want to sit there and laugh without any use of your brain go watch Chris Farley and stop pretending to be a "life-long" fan of Carlin.

What Happened George???.......2006-11-10

Recently I was feeling nostalgic and picked up a copy of Class Clown which came out in 1972. This was a witty and intelligent George Carlin. Yes he pointed out some of the hypocrisy of the times, the war, religion, business. But it wasn't mean spirited, move ahead 27 years to this mess. I admit I haven't really kept up with George's career in recent years, so hearing this was really a shock for me. I'm not offended by the "F" word but he uses it so much here it loses it's effect and is just plain lazy. But worse than that was the overall tone of his act. In the past George would cleverly and amusingly point out the hypocrisy of modern life. Here he just slams it in your face. He hates everything about America, which I find to be hypocritical on his part, after all he benefits nicely from the American Free Enterprise system he likes to bash. I'm sure he's not returning the money he makes from all his Albums, HBO Specials, etc. The sad part is he does have some good observations like the way we pander to today's kids, but it gets lost in all the screaming and cursing. The problem with George today is he hates everything, and has thrown out the baby with the bathwater, you can no longer laugh with him because you are part of the problem.

THE BEST COMEDY CD EVER CREATED.......2006-04-16

I have never laughed as hard or as often during any other CD than I have during this one. No cd has ever been as thought provoking either. From ripping on religion, to cigar smokers to over protective parents, this CD to me is the crown jewel in the George Carlin collection, every single track is funny, and the airport security track could almost be considered foreshadowing since this came out in 1998-99 and almost everything he says in the track ended up happening after 9/11. To me, that is sufficient proof that no one else is more qualified to comment on American Life than the greatest comic of all time, Mr. Carlin
