George Carlin – “A Modern Man” (2005)
I’m a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been up linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life.

George Carlin – “The Mike Douglas Show” (1972 – Part 2)
This is the remainder of George Carlin’s appearance on “The Mike Douglas Show” on Feb. 18, 1972, w/ weeklong co-hosts John Lennon & Yoko Ono. This is the interview portion of his segment.
George’s appearance was on the last of the 5 days. When asked about it, George said he didn’t even recall being on the show that week. “Too many good drugs back then.”
You’ll notice that George was much more laid-back in that time – in his act & as an interviewee – than he was in later life.

George Carlin appearing on the 5th day of the week that John & Yoko co-hosted “The Mike Douglas Show” – he performs “New York Voices,” “Hair Piece,” “Sharing a Swallow” and “The Hippy Dippy Weatherman.”
