regarding George Carlin...
Yes he is showing his age (visually) but his mind seems to be as sharp as ever. In an interview with a local paper a couple of days before the show he explained that he does an HBO special every couple of years and the work he does on the road is all working up towards those specials. The difference between this particular live performance and his HBO specials was, last night he was constantly referencing various pages of paper he had brought on stage with him. Kind of felt like he was going through the motions until that next HBO special instead of trying to entertain us ticket paying folks in the seats.
that being said it was still a funny show and as a big stand up comedy fan I am happy to have seen the legend that is George Carlin live in concert.
