George Carlin: "The espresso machine is jammed"?
[laughter]
George Carlin: "Hootie and the Blowfish are breaking up?"
[laughter]
George Carlin: White people ought to understand it's their job to *give* people the blues, not to get them. And certainly not to sing or play them. I'll give you a little tip about the blues, folks: it's not enough to know which notes to play. You need to know why they need to be played.
