Iconoclastic comedian George Carlin,
"...Who Chafed at Society and It's Constraints, Dies at 71." --NewYorkTimes
Pictured here is Carlin's (in-?)famous arrest (and mugshots) in 1972 after a performance of his monologue "Seven Words You Can't Say on Televison"...which led to the subsequent FCC, Supreme Court rulings...
"So my name is a footnote in American Legal history, which perversely I'm kind of proud of." --George Carlin
Here's a 1978 performance of:
"Seven Words"
*Warning: The following video contains explicit words...seven of 'em, in fact. (...well, nine if you count 'fart' and 'turd'. Which I don't.)
