Very convincing satire

JohnFromIndy

I agree with the earlier reviewer, that Carlin was at the top of his game here. In fact, I had to keep reminding myself not to take him seriously, that he's an entertainer, not a policy maker (oh, to dream). Because of this show, to this day I do not play golf because of the message of affluence it carries; I feel for victims of PTSD from the Prequel to the Iraq war; and I still really believe plastic is the best friend Mother Earth has ever had. If you're as naive as I am, you'll feel the same way after listening to these tracks.

His Best

CultRhetor

I'm a lifelong Carlin fan, and this is, in my opinion, his best album ever. He's at the peak of his game is Jammin', and you will NOT stop laughing.

An older, angrier George Carlin riffs on the sexuality of Operation Desert Storm, the inanity of airline announcements, sporting solutions for the nation’s homeless, and the likely future of the planet in yet another virtuoso comedy performance first televised as an HBO special. Whatever his topic (or should that be target?), Carlin’s jokes hinge upon keen-eyed and reasoned social commentary. This is poisonous satire disguised as mass entertainment. Fans of the comedian’s earlier work may not appreciate this curious new George Carlin. – Brian Beatty
