      Yes of course RIP.


      I didn't know the guy so I listened to the excerpts.

      I have to agree with you.

      Now Lenny Bruce I laughed out loud.

        There's plenty of guys half my age who would gladly burn me as a heretic. Age has nothing to do with it.
        Unbelievable!

          I think a good test for a comedian is to basically be strong on some issues and make the people against you laugh about it and like the comedy. That's not easy. I think Carlin pulled it off well. His blue material was also extremely blue, yet it wasn't easy f this and f that.

            Try some Billy Connolly material.



            an introduction.

            His routine for 'doctor's test for prostate cancer' is excruitatingly funny.

            A lot of brilliant stuff but the material on his later tours was just f this and f that.

              He was just here a second ago...

              The man was an iconclast icon, a cunning linguist, a philosopher, a humanist, an originator, an artist, an autodidact, a genius, and a hero. I am terribly sad about this.

                      I wonder if he's still a disappointed idealist.

                      Farewell George.

                      ACK!

                        Well you're certainly not the only one. My best friend hates him.

                        Carlin made me laugh alot, but it's the rare short one that I appeciate the most:

                        Hippy Dippy Weatherman: "The forecast for tonight: Dark."
                        I guess I have to respect your perspective. Today, blue. Tonight, dark. Tru Dat.

                          Maybe your friend is not getting it.

                          In this world, things are blatantly obvious - yet people continue to do / think or say stupid things. Carlin, like Connolly and Bill Hicks, are very good at reminding everyone of how stupid people can be and to try and avoid it.

                          They are modern philosphers.

                            I saw Carlin in 1979 at the Tennessee Theatre in Nashville. He was hilarious! I felt that in later years that he was more politically motivated than just purely anti-establishment and that that hurt his routine, but in the early years he was fantastic.

                            RIP

                              Damn... I hadn't heard this yet. He never failed to make my laugh.
