...and the forecast is for increasing darkness through the night, becoming lighter at sunrise.
Bye, George. |

George Carlin Interview
P. H. Farber: The last time I interviewed you, about 4 or 5 years ago, you were talking about how when you get people laughing, it's easier to insert a new idea.
Carlin: Well, that's not my purpose in doing my shows, to put new ideas in people's minds, but the principle I was talking about is, when a person is laughing, they are defenseless. It is a completely Zen moment. You are never more yourself than when you have been surprised into laughing. That is a moment when your defenses are down, in a manner of speaking. Most of the time, when you talk to people about, let's call them 'issues,' okay? People have their defenses up. They are going to defend their point of view, the thing they're used to, the ideas that they hold dear, and you have to take a long, logical route to get through to them, generally. This is all generalization. But when you are doing comedy or humor, people are open, and when the moment of laughter comes, their guard is down, so new data can be introduced more easily at that moment. That's really all I was talking about. users.bestweb.net/~kali93/carlin.htm |

Hey Skylar,
That interview was from the late '90s... '98 maybe? Anyway... it was always a blast to talk to Carlin and I always made a point of getting to his live shows whenever he was in the area. At one show, I literally hurt myself... pulled a muscle in my chest or something... from laughing too hard. It hurt to breathe for about a week. He was one of a kind and we'll miss him! |
