WARNING: You are about to hear the Seven Dirty Words

"Seven Dirty Words" by NBPT Docu Fest Program Director James Sullivan. The book tells the story of Alternative America from the 1950s to the present from the singular vantage point of George Carlin, the Catholic boy for whom nothing was sacred. A critical biography, "Seven Dirty Words" is an insightful (and, of course, hilarious) examination of Carlin's body of work.
