It's Bad for Ya - Carlin, George

George Carlin's final album. Well, of totally new material anyway. George died on June 22, 2008, and this album had been completed at that point. While it wouldn't surprise me to see compilations come out later from his estate, this will be the "final" album of new material.

Right before it was released, I had read somewhere that friends/family were saying that this album of material was more palatable to people because it's less "angry". I know I said that aout his last album, but I heard this pre-release. Then I got it, and I have to agree. While there's a bit in the middle where he totally goes off again on religion and God, most of this album is less "old crotchety man" than his recent vintage has been.

There's a bit in here where he talks about removing people from your address book who have died. He then goes on to find the humor in how we have to DELETE people now instead of crossing them out. It's quite funny if you're a computer person. I even was able to recite one of the bits from this album to someone else after having listened to it just one time. :)

It's George Carlin. It's funny. What else can I say?
