1. Ahhhhh George!

[Quixote1818]

3. I loved the part about the Vegas show and him going off on the Conservative audience

He had GUTS! A real hero! I also think that his struggling for so many years allowed him to empathize with "regular" folks. He lived out of his car for Christ sake!

4. Could you imagine

if we still had him? He would love Bernie.

Of course he would have a stroke with the way things are now.

6. One of my Dad's friends became an atheist because of Carlin

I also think the reason cussing is mainstream now has a lot to do with Carlin.

9. Lenny was first, he was the spark. Carlin was arrested as an audience member at a Lenny show in

1962 when Carlin was still evolving as a comic.....

11. That IS what we are faced with...

And, the question ONCE AGAIN...

Are we ready to ADMIT that only WE can do anything ABOUT it?

Big fucking question...

10. He was the best at calling bull shit to our bull shit!

12. In addition, George was also in "Bill And Ted's Excellent Adventurre"

I forgot the role he played but I remember wanting to see it so bad because I was truly a fan of his. I also saw the taping of "Carlin on Campus" which was done at UCLA.

But I still have an addiction to seeing Bill And Ted's Excellent Adventure because George was in it.
