    <![CDATA[George Carlin's been working the crowd since &quot;the counterculture&quot; became &quot;the over-the-counter culture&quot; around 1967 or so; his new book, <em>Brain Droppings</em>, surfs on three decades of touring-in-support. It's 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 &quot;A meltdown sounds like fun. Like some kind of cheese sandwich.&quot; Or: &quot;If you can't beat them, arrange to have them beaten.&quot; <em>Brain Droppings</em> also contains highlights from Carlin's 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 &quot;Kill your pet&quot; and &quot;Satan is cool&quot;? Quick--hide the paper before Daddy sees it! Still, if you're a fan of this sarcastic semanticist who's given Bad Attitude not necessarily a good name, but at least a comfy bank account, by all means rush out and snag <em>Brain Droppings</em>. Carlin's book melts in your mind, not in your hand.]]>
