Notes

Description
"Born at the very beginning of [George Carlin's] decades-long career in comedy, [his daughter Kelly] slid around the 'old Dodge Dart,' as he and wife Brenda drove around the country to 'hell gigs.' She witnessed his transformation in the '70s, as he fought back against---and talked back to---the establishment; she even talked him down from a really bad acid trip a time or two. Kelly not only watched her father constantly reinvent himself and his comedy, but also had a front row seat to the roller coaster turmoil of her family's inner life ... All the while, Kelly sought to define her own voice as she separated from the shadow of her father's genius. [In her book], Kelly Carlin pulls back the curtain on what it was like to grow up as the daughter of one of the most recognizable comedians of our time, and become a woman in her own right"--,Provided by publisher.
