George Carlin: Now More Than Ever

The great comedian George Carlin has been dead for fourteen years -- and yet he's more popular than ever.

It appears that his comedy, particularly his hilarious insights into the insanity of American life and politics, is sadly more relevant to today then when he made them -- in some cases, more than 30 years ago. He's the subject of a big article examining his continuing relevance and, here at Mr NYC, I've blogged about his timeless comedic genius many times over the years. 

You should read about, and watch, his comedy if you haven't already -- it's scary how prophetic Carlin was. 

The fact that we walked the same streets as kids (separated by four decades) fills me with unending pride and joy.
