(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) GEORGE: (OVER RECORD PLAYER)
Shit's a nice word. The middle class has never
really been into "shit," you know, as a word. You'll hear it
around the kitchen if someone drops a casserole,
you know, "Oh, shit!" -(GROANING)
-(AUDIENCE LAUGHING) -(CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY)
-KLIPH: Before 1969, the United States had
what they called obscenity laws. It was literally illegal
to "be obscene" in any public forum, and comedians
routinely got arrested. GEORGE:
Sometimes they say "shoot." KLIPH:
But obscenity laws were changing all throughout the late '60s
and early '70s. GEORGE:
"Shoot" is "shit" with two Os. KLIPH: Little David Records
was founded right at that same time by another comedian
named Flip Wilson. Yes. Here's George's new album
FM & AM. And Flip Wilson's whole purpose
with this new label was to hire comedians
to do their act, no censorship
