The Idea Blog

I don’t know how many various items and bios and obits there have been for George Carlin, but all of them mention his infamous “Seven Words…”

I searched youtube and found this tribute. It’s a good audio reproduction from the original Lp, with a loving Ken Burns-like effect to a series of still photos.

My recommendation: just close your eyes and remember how startling this was way back when. It’s still startling to hear, funny most of the time, and a classic.
