George Carlin, the greatest comic ever has passed away. Truly is the day the laughter died. No one except maybe Lenny Bruce, is the genius that was George. If it wasn’t for him, no Richard Prior, Sienfeld, Chris Rock, Kathy Griffin, etc. And thanx to him, I have never (knock on wood) have said any of the 7 dirty words on the radio! And no, I can’t even list them here. You know what they are. How about if I just use the first letter of each of them-

He was more than just those 7 words though. You have to be pretty brilliant to be as great of a comic as he was. He insired all of us insecure, dorky, funny, self depricating radio dj’s. And he inspired us to to try and make laughter a pain killer.
Thanx George. And I hope right now you and jesus are saying those 7 words together. And jesus is laughing.

I agree, he was the best. And you’re right, he was so much more than the dirty words. He had a way to look at life and people that was funny and yet very insightful. I did have the pleasure to see him once in New Orleans at the Saenger in 1992. I can’t recall laughing so hard in my whole life. He’ll be missed for sure.
