i saw ralphie may at a show in houston and he say the same thing . i do not believe him and fork out the $ 120 bux for 2 tix and go to see him . i take my wife . i have always live and breathe carlin and have be know to spit out a carlin line or 2 from year past and often . i be soooo incredibly disappoint . last night i watch this hbo special since his road material be usually different when he do the big show . it be a carbon copy of the horrible act i saw here . i hope he can make a turnaround and but sadly and i do not think it go to happen . i guess he go to just talk about the all suicide channel for another 5 year . what ever happen to the first stage ( hippy ) and second ( sport and disaster ) phase of his career . we will miss ya george .
