It’s Bad for Ya
, George Carlin’s last recorded concert from March 2008 will make its CD debut on Eardrum Records on July 29th.
Eardrum Records was launched as a record label by Carlin 1986 to re-master and re-issue his back catalog on compact disc as well as release all of the subsequent recordings by the comedian. Eardrum Records are manufactured and distributed exclusively by Laugh.com.
The CD features Carlin’s noted irreverent observations on such subjects as religion, death, patriotism and big business, as well as pungent examinations of modern language and the “decrepit state of the American culture.”
“Doing new stuff is a point of pride with me,” said Carlin of the CD release. “People may not consider it so, but stand-up comedy is one of the performing arts, and artists are supposed to grow and evolve over time. Through the years, my technique has sharpened, my writing has improved and even my observations have grown richer.”
Proud of the fact that every two years he came with a new hour of material, Carlin continued, “I can’t do old material; I would feel like a failure. Essentially, this job is that of a writer, but a writer who doesn’t produce new work all the time is not a writer – he’s a typist.”
