Back in the 70's, I purchased FM&AM, Class Clown, On The Road, Occupation: Foole, & Toledo Window Box. Everyone remembers him for the 7 word list but he had a unique way of playing with words and phrases.

Example - this, that, and the other. I'll take this, and that. You gotta take the other, it comes in a set.

I liked his style of humor. As he got older, he seemed to me more bitter. Maybe it was because he couldn't springboard his career into the movies as well as some of his fellow comedians.

In the replay of the 1999 Art Bell interview, Carlin mentioned John McCain’s use of some fairly coarse language, which if Carlin noticed must have been exemplary.
