Connecting George Carlin and Mick Jagger



George Carlin
Carlin began to achieve prominence as a film actor with a major supporting role in the 1987 comedy hit '' Outrageous Fortune'', starring Bette Midler and Shelley Long; it was his first notable screen role after a handful of previous guest roles on television series.

As Casey Kasem reported on the ''American Top 40'' broadcast of August 11, 1973, Midler has been acclaimed as, "She's faster than speeding bullet, is louder than Ethel Merman, has a bigger nose than Barbra Streisand, is shorter than Mickey Rooney, and more outrageous than Mick Jagger.

De Blasio was busy managing the fast-paced career of Freddie Prinze and was about to sign Richard Pryor, so he released Carlin to Little David general manager Jack Lewis, who, like Carlin, was somewhat wild and rebellious. Using his own persona as a springboard for his new comedy, he was presented by Ed Sullivan in a performance of "The Hair Piece" and quickly regained his popularity as the public caught on to his sense of style.
