george carlin be probably my favorite comedian . i have see so many of his special and even have the opportunity to see him perform live . he have a certain cynicism that always appeal to me . his last 2 special ( life be worth lose especially and complaint and grievance ) have lack a certain spirit and content . george appear overweight and old and tired ( not to mention come out of rehab ) . i say not to mention it . anyway . life be worth lose be especially tragic a he be overweight and disgruntled and come off of rehab ( there we go again . ) and extremely unfunny . if there be a way to feel sorry for a comedian without heckle him off stage and george achieve it with life be worth lose . it be a if the new millennium and post 9/11 america be trample george spirit . the b have become too large to manage . the comeback be partially successful with it bad for ya . this special be the transmutation complete . george be no longer try to rekindle his glory day . he be in full acceptance of his age and be old and deal with the loom prospect of death . he have accept be a crusty old sob and be relish in it . this be good than his previous special and yet far from jammin in new york . it be a little tragic . his observation be not cut edge anymore and seem more andy rooney than lenny bruce . george isn not george anymore . he be no longer criticize u but be the man in the high castle point out how thing be and how dissimilar modern life be . this be an improvement over the previous two special and but george do not and a of yet and recoup his old glory ( if ever ) . he have be reduce from critical social and political stinging commentary to mostly personal peeve . when he go political and he still have something to say . it be heavily derive ( especially if you have see any of his previous work ) and but it still work somehow and as oppose to his random ranting which lack a certain relevance outside of the baby boom generation . the last 25 minute be the best this special have to offer . for now i will worship the sun and pray to joe pesci that george can recreate himself a a cutting edge septuagenarian . it a 50/50 chance . life seem to have become more tedious for george and his art be now his life . this be a step in the right direction from his previous 2 special and but be far from his old self . where do he go from here . he may never recoup but maybe he can far metamorphosing or refine this new ornery old man routine . here to hop for 7 more word you can not say on tv or at least a windmill he can handle .
