George Carlin

Well, as usual I’m listening to my internet radio at work (Yahoo Launch is a lovely little invention).  Anyway, lo and behold a George Carlin bit came on.  This got me wondering (you know what’s coming next) what has George been doing these days.  Now normally I go straight to IMDB or Wikipedia to see what they have to say on the subject, but I came across Mr. Carlin’s website before I ever got to either of those sites.  So, I thought I’d let George, himself, tell you what he’s been doing.  I don’t have to tell you that there is a little bit of adult language in this post.  For crying out loud, it’s George ‘Freakin’ Carlin!

A Message From George

I’M OUT NOW AND WORKIN’ ON MY PROGRAM. ALL IS WELL. BACK ON THE ROAD IN MARCH. - GC

Well, I finally found out that trying to keep a website up to date while still maintaining a full career schedule is a real pain in the ass. So here I am again, after about a six-month absence. This website stuff is a real bother, because it lacks instant gratification. There’s no psychic payoff. All the other things I do give me a charge and a lift. This seems more like doing homework. Fuck that shit!

So! I just made some new timeline entries, including news about last year’s HBO show, the latest CD, the book, the Grammy Awards, my movie plans and my Broadway plans. Something there might interest you.

Naturally, I’m still doing my short theater-concert tours, and I still do 12 weeks a year at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas . Details on those things are always available on the “Schedule” part of this web page.

Laugh.com (the comedy website I have a small interest in) continues to grow and grow. It’s quite a flourishing record company now, in addition to being a great comedy website. We have 22 CD’s in stores right now from coast to coast, and hundreds more coming. We’ve made deals with the three big records companies (Sony, Universal and BMG) and have the rights to sell and market many of their best titles from over the years. 

The first 20 (from Universal) will be pressed in a couple of months, including CD’s by Jackie Mason, Bill Cosby, Robin Williams, Whoopi Goldberg, Lily Tomlin, Jonathan Winters, Mort Sahl, Rich Little, Phyllis Diller, Shelly Berman, Buddy Hackett, The Smothers Brothers…etc etc etc. Check the site. Many other CD’s, not yet in stores, are available at the site.

We also have Firesign Theater. Yay! Fuckin’ yay!

Whoopi Goldberg

I never could stand that show…”The View”.  It just bored the hell out of me.  Now that Whoopi Goldberg is going to be on, I might actually watch it.  I’ll grant you that Joy is a good comedienne but “The View” is not her venue.  She really needs that stand-up atmosphere and freedom.  I recently watched one of Whoopi’s specials.  She was spectacular and had me howling.  But I really don’t recall her saying anything in that program she couldn’t say on “The View”.  Perhaps she had some kind of premonition about it all and subconsciously edited herself.  Maybe she’s just naturally TV friendly.  Maybe I blocked it.  Whatever the case, Whoopi is funny, relevant, honest, and highly entertaining and this show is in dire (and I mean dire) need of her unique talent.

And in keeping with my “good news” philosophy, has anyone done more for charitable causes than Whoopi?  I mean, come on, “Comic Relief” alone is pretty generous, but she supports at least 6 other charities.  And let’s face it, “Comic Relief” is not just a charity to those in need of funds, but it’s a charity to those in need of laughs and that often includes me.  So thanks, Whoopi, I really needed that.

There’s nothing like a tattoo.  I love ‘em all.  I love the realistic portraits, the cartoons, the symbols, the text, band tats, religious tats, and even the cheesy cliche tats.  I have one and plan on more.  I like the henna tats and have a great recipe for the paste, but, again, I digress…

Today, I wanted to list a few celebs who have tats that you may or may not know.  I chose these particular people because I had no idea they had them.  A lot of famous people are sporting ink and we’ve seen them…alot.  But some people were a surprise for me.
