The Finch Formerly Known As Gold

The Ice Box Man knows

George Carlin turned 70 this weekend, and I suspect his influence has only grown since he was DJing for Wonderful WINO Radio forty years ago.

Way back in the early 1980s, for instance, he anticipated this:

"What do you think it is?"

"I don't know. Could be meat ... could be cake. Maybe it's ... MEATCAKE!"

Used to be funny. Now he's hateful. Damn shame.

Being out on the edge is tricky when the edge keeps moving. Time was, Carlin only had to be slightly more twisted than Bob Hope. Now the competition at the far side is much stiffer, if not necessarily funnier.
