Saw Carlin in Kenai, Alaska. It was the show previewing the seven dirty words before it aired on TV. Four or five people walked out. Fitting for Kenai, Alaska, a borough of red flags on election day. But that aside and in the past, Carlin lives on. Tolerance is still an issue. I continue to have hope from the younger generation who sees though all the bullshit. I may not be alive to see it. That is assuming that in that future homo sapiens will still be around.
Something else . . . believe it or not, but if I could pick one career that I wish I could have had, it would be standup comedian! I love comedy and I think making people laugh would have been the most rewarding career.
Well, as Carl Sagan once said, there is nothing out there to save us from ourselves. So our only salvation here on this planet is art, music, poetry, literature, theater . . . they don't call them the HUMANities for nothing! Oh, and comedy. We need comedy.
Brought back a memory. Eons ago, I saw George Carlin at the Wilma--before it was remodeled into a concert venue and instead was a dedicated movie house/theater. And he was phenomenal, of course. I laughed so hard, there was no sound coming out! And I remember at the time thinking, "Wow, he's 60 and he didn't miss a beat!" . . . and I'll be 60 on June 4. Ah, life!
