HANKS ON HEALTH: Why Americans Can't Always Trust Rx Drugs

'I'll tell you why America has a drug problem,' begins a riff of the late and legendary comedian/satirist George Carlin. And before the audience can think his routine will be a commentary on illegal hallucinogens, Carlin careens into another track. 'Everybody has access to drugs because there are so many DRUG stores. Every three or four blocks, there's a big sign-DRUGS. Open all night-DRUGS. We deliver-DRUGS. Cut rate-DRUGS. It's the biggest thing on their signs: cosmetics, sundries-DRUGS! It's no accident that our country is so drug-oriented. The drug companies got us that way and they want to keep us that way. It all starts with that little colored aspirin for children.' While such a cogent commentary would be relevant today given the dangers of some prescription drugs, Carlin performed this drug routine on the album FM & AM in 1972-41 years ago. Carlin's comedic observations have always been ahead of the curve; it's a shame he turned out to be prescient on the subject of pharmaceutical drug use in America. (more...)
