Day 77: George Carlin

Today is a little bittersweet, for it marks what would have been George Carlin's 72nd birthday. Unfortunately, he passed away last year, leaving a huge hole in the comedy world. Being a Milwaukeean, I feel it my duty to personally make up for the fact that in 1972 Mr. Carlin was arrested in Milwaukee for disturbing the peace.

The act that got him arrested was his "Seven Dirty Words" routine. One of his legacies, of course, is his liberal use of profanity (and free speech in general). To commemorate Mr. Carlin, I've put together a list of 10 songs (some of which are short) that display my favorite use of profanity. There are a lot of songs out there that use a bunch of swears, but they come across as obnoxious to me (I'm looking at you, "My Neck, My Back" and "The Whisper Song").

Not to say some of these songs don't use profanity cheaply; they do. But, the difference is, they don't take themselves seriously, and I like that. And so should you.

Day 75: Bob Dylan

This week's artist spotlight needs little introduction. Bob Dylan has been regarded as the greatest songwriter of all time more times than he hasn't. I could go on all day about his genius or whatever, but the truth is, if you're a music fan, there's probably a song of his that's touched you. Maybe the chorus of "Like A Rolling Stone" hit you in a moment of uncertainty or "Tangled Up In Blue" caught you in a down period of your life. His songs can be autopsied, diagnosed, deduced and analyzed; but the fact is they're meant to be listened to and felt.
