Wonderful Wino!

Back in the Pleistocene Era, somewhere around 1975-76ish, one of the SJG's major highlights as a UCLA Daily Bruin reporter, on the hunt for fast-breaking news stories, and never really finding any, was the time I got to interview George Carlin.  In person!  What, you thought I did it over the phone?  He was shy and funny and stared at the floor a lot.  Here's one of my favorite early Carlin routines:  "Wonderful Wino."  Whenever I pour myself another glass of well-traveled grape, I sing "Wonderful Wino," in honor of G.C.  Enjoy, my bleeps. Drink up.  L'chaim to you and yours.
