In terms of, as you get older the smarter your Father gets. How what they said to you in your younger years came true. Pretty soon, I think the term for George Carlin will change from Comedic Genius to Genius. He is getting smarter and more right by the day. Are we?

Actually listened to it on CD. Read by his brother so it sounded just like him. A good biography about his approach to life. He was brilliant but cursed with insecurity and some apathy about our ability to change our world. But no one could peel back the veneer to reveal our true nature the way he could.
