    Default Gee... He was just here a minute ago...

    I just wanted to start a thread where people could say a few words (7 dirty ones, perhaps) about legendary comedian George Carlin. We will miss you, buddy.

    I saw George Carlin live a few times in Rochester & Providence, he was a very talented and down to earth person, I used to rewind and replay the 7 dirty words until they were memorized lol

    This is so sad to me, he was just one of those guys who you thought would always be around. Sadly that's never the case, but few people will leave us with so much to remember them by and I for one will still thoroughly enjoy watching all those old stand ups for a long time to come.

    His outlook and interpretation of every day life and society was one of a kind. Pushed the envelope by analyizing and questioning our moral and social laws/values..

    Genius. The world is an emptier place without him.

    I don't think we should inform the young'uns about the seven words....

    I'd rather the young'uns heard the 7 words from Carlin than from anyone else. At least maybe they would learn something about the ridiculousness of censorship in our society. One of Carlin's greatest talents was for taking subjects that people were afraid to talk about and turning them into comedy. The world will miss him now that he can no longer point at the elephant in the room.
