Yeah, Carlin was hillarious. He made me laugh so much my sides would hurt. I remember having an 8 track tape of him doing his routines and LMAO rolling down the road in my 18 wheeler.
Thanks for the memories y soitenly.

It was controversial material.
"Carlin was arrested on July 21, 1972 at Milwaukee's Summerfest and charged with violating obscenity laws after performing this routine. The case, which prompted Carlin to refer to the words for a time as, "The Milwaukee Seven", was soon dismissed; the judge declared the language indecent, stating that the language was indecent but cited free speech, as well as the lack of any disturbance.
In 1973, a man complained to the FCC that his son had heard a later routine, "Filthy Words"... Pacifica received a citation from the FCC, which sought to fine Pacifica for violating FCC regulations which prohibit broadcasting "obscene" material.
The Supreme Court upheld the FCC action, ruling that the routine was "indecent but not obscene", and the FCC had authority to prohibit such broadcasts during hours when children were likely to be among the audience."

Lenny Bruce was arrested once for saying the word 'schmuck'
But of course it wasn't for saying 'schmuck', it was for lampooning the Catholic Church in Chicago
That was in 1963
I'm glad by 1972 something was learned and Lenny didn't get crucified for nothing
---
of course its not about schmuck or the dirty seven or any of that
It's about control and authority
as Mr Carlin said
'There's people that want to control what you can say'
