Good-Bye George

George Carlin died yesterday in LA from a heart attack. Looking back I can remember hearing his stand up for the first time and think “Oh my God! Did he just say that?” And yes he did jsut say that. I was both shocked and awed by things he came up with. The 7 dirty words you can’t say on Radio or TV, Pay-per view Prisoner fights/riots, and so many more bits than I could possibly list here. He have great performances in every roll on screen he had. A true comedic genius (who wasn’t afraid of saying or doing anything) has been lost to us all. And although his mind and body may be gone, his irreverent spirit will continue forth in all of our dirty, filthy minds.
