George Carlin in Memoriam

[futile_mind]

One our greatest comedians died recently June 22, 2008. He was a rambunctious and rebellious man whose "indecency" landed him a fight for the freedom of speech in the Supreme Court. He was a great man, a greater entertainer, and the greatest pioneer in taboo. I will now allow the members of the forum to post their memories of this wonderful comic.

I never got to see George in person and it's a personal regret. Tickets were sold out last year when he was here so I wasn't able to attend. I remember George doing the Hippie Dippie Weatherman. He never failed to shock, raise a question or two and/or make one think. Our world is incredibly sadder without him.

I agree with Blink; whereever he is, he's doing stand up and they're better for it.

I saw him twice, on the tours he did before his last two specials. I was born the same day as him. I didn't have HBO for his last special, so I need it get it on DVD. I wonder if there's anything else he recorded that hasn't been released?

He wasn't JUST a dirty old man. He also did a few movies where he lent his voice. Cars for one. He was the voice of the old VW bus!


He will be missed.
