Of all the things said about George Carlin by the past few days, I like what Jon Stewart said on the Daily Show most: he’s getting awfully tired of humans who we need leaving us. But as Stewart plus said, the good thing about Carlin is that he left us “hours and hours of video.” iTunes has posted a page of George Carlin’s famous standup to honor a comedian that I and many, many other comedy fans looked up to for laughter and inspiration.

If you need a place to start, the “seven dirty words” monologue is probably the most famous, but Carlin often said

that his favorite performance was the “Jammin’ in New York” show — he said it was the first instance he’d done longer pieces, and talked about stuff that he really put his heart into (it’s actually the show that was used for the Moment of Zen on the Daily Show). Definitely a great listen.

Of course, it’s probably not quite right that iTunes’ system automatically listed “Concert Tickets” as an option on the page. But in the world that Carlin worked his whole life to show us, big companies doing silly things is nothing new.

Thanks, Steve!
