George Carlin & Bangalore Traffic

One good way to beat the Bangalore traffic or at least forget it for a while - is to listen to standup. I have my car stereo  rigged up to my ipod and  my ipod rigged up with about 40 hours of the best ... Bill Cosby, Eddie Izzard and George Carlin.



George Carlin : May 12, 1937 – June 22, 2008

Carlin was  diabolically funny and probably best heard when you are alone... because most of  his  jokes you wouldn't want to  be caught laughing in public. His delivery stye ... almost like a rap, meant you had to pay attention to keep up.  Not your canned half hour of laughs for sure. Here's to his immortal body of work. 

Rest In peace George
