Additional Brain Droppings Information
|
George Carlin's been working the crowd since "the counterculture" became "the over-the-counter culture" around 1967 or so; his new book, Brain Droppings, surfs on three decades of touring-in-support. It's the purest version of book-as-candy that one could imagine, serving up humor in convenient, bite-sized packages. Snack on chewy one-liners like "A meltdown sounds like fun. Like some kind of cheese sandwich." Or: "If you can't beat them, arrange to have them beaten." Brain Droppings also contains highlights from Carlin's concert repertoire, and that more than makes up for the occasional spray of pointless nihilism. Tell us, George, what exactly were you going for with "Kill your pet" and "Satan is cool"? Quick--hide the paper before Daddy sees it! Still, if you're a fan of this sarcastic semanticist who's given Bad Attitude not necessarily a good name, but at least a comfy bank account, by all means rush out and snag Brain Droppings. Carlin's book melts in your mind, not in your hand.

What Customers Say About Brain Droppings:
|
|
George's personality doesn't come through in the book like it does in person. I read Last Words and I really liked it so I bought Brain Droppings. I found this book to be very mean-spirited. Brain Droppings seems to be a list of his notes on what he might put into his live act. If I had to guess his book was written to pay his huge tax bill.
A long-time Carlin fan, I found this book to have more laugh-out-loud moments than anything else I've ever read; just make sure you're not alone when you read it--people will stare and wonder just what is going on with you.
George's unique outlook on life and language has entertained me for thirty years. Some of the material in this book is in his stand-up routine, but some is not. It's great to have more of his output to appreciate. I will be reading his other books also.
If you're a George Carlin fan this book is a must. The book is very spontaneous and can be read in one sitting or in small increments. Either way, he get's your attention with his hysterical humor, witt, and sarcasm. John Crippen, writer and photographer The Sweet Smell of ASH in the Morning: A Twisted Look at Forensic Mental Health in Atascadero State Hospital By A Burnt-out PsychTech
It's George Carlin, Nuff said. A must for folk who enjoy sarcasm and dark humor. John Crippen, Photographer and Writer
