Comedian George Carlin's definitive monologue was delivered on this 1972 album, his third, in the form of Seven Dirty Words You Can Never Say on Television. The FCC and Supreme Court held the routine as the epitome of tastelessness, threatening to yank the license of any station that dare play it over public airwaves. So you know it has to be funny. Buy it today and shock your parents!

Carlin's riffs on religion and terrorism on this album are classic. He even tackles the timely topic of airport security. Nobody dissects untouchable subjects better than the nimble mind of George Carlin. Recorded for an HBO live broadcast stand-up special on February 6, 1999.

Yes, George Carlin is here with more of what he did better than any other comic: uproarious observations, laser-targeted crankiness, linguistic legerdemain, and inspired weirdness. ("If the shoe fits, get another just like it." "When you sneeze, all the numbers in your head go up by one.") Napalm & Silly Putty is just what his fans have been waiting for—another generous helping of notions, nonsense, assertions, assumptions, mockery, merriment, silliness, sarcasm, and, to be sure, plenty of disturbing references and toxic alienation.

Editorial Reviews

George Carlin’s FM and AM marked an early career turn towards the material and persona which would later come to define his enduring legacy. This is especially apparent because the album captures two distinct sides of the man, one of which would wane as the years went on: first, and soon to disappear, his inoffensive and family-friendly comedic personality, and second, the boisterous, contentious, and often vulgar personality which would define the bulk of his comedy oeuvre. The material on this album is strong, but more attractive even is the opportunity to experience Carlin’s dazzling and wholly unselfconscious stage presence in its infancy: the birth of a performer soon to enter his element.

Publisher's Summary

FM & AM found Carlin officially poking fun at, while incorporating, his early material, performed in the lounges of America and on The Ed Sullivan Show. It also marked Carlin's metamorphosis from straight-laced to hippie, as he intentionally embraced the growing counterculture.

The recording is divided into two separate manifestations of humor, making it a sort of comedy concept album. One section focuses on references geared toward the more wholesome, commercial oriented AM-radio audience; the remaining material was intended for the "hipper" FM audience.

Tracks:
1. Shoot
2. The Hair Piece
3. Sex in Commercials
4. Drugs
5. Birth Control
6. Son of Wino
7. Divorce Game
8. Ed Sullivan Self Taught
9. Let's Make a Deal
10. The 11 O'Clock News

Some of his best

This is some of George Carlin's best work. Funny and timeless, its views on society are still true to this day. From tips on how to best imitate Ed Sullivan to a hilarious weather report from his character "Al Sleet: The Hippy-Dippy Weatherman" Carlin delivers some of the finest comedy in this sterling performance.
