Synopsis: George Carlins been working the crowd since the counterculture became the over-the-counter culture around 1967 or so; his new book, Brain Droppings, surfs on three decades of touring-in-support. Its the purest version of book-as-candy that one could imagine, serving up humor in convenient, bite-sized packages. Snack on chewy one-liners like A meltdown sounds like fun. Like some kind of cheese sandwich. Or: If you cant beat them, arrange to have them beaten. Brain Droppings also contains highlights from Carlins concert repertoire, and that more than makes up for the occasional spray of pointless nihilism. Tell us, George, what exactly were you going for with Kill your pet and Satan is cool Quick--hide the paper before Daddy sees it! Still, if youre a fan of this sarcastic semanticist whos given Bad Attitude not necessarily a good name, but at least a comfy bank account, by all means rush out and snag Brain Droppings. Carlins book melts in your mind, not in your hand.
