My first memory of him was his "Seven Words You Cannot Say on Television."  He was truly a great, ground-breaking comedian.

He was a great observer of life, RIP, George.

He spread the truth on many subject's with out

I am just reading BrainDroppings which

Brilliant stuff.

It was just announced that he was scheduled
to receive the Mark Twain prize for american
humor.  Hard to think of anyone more appropriate.

Status: offline 		i went to see George Carlin perform in the late 1970s in San Marcos, Texas [a little north of San Antonio] -- it was one of my better decisions. He was great -- i remember his "seven words you can't say on television," the difference in the terms of baseball and football [such as: In football you go to the "end zone" and in baseball you go "home"], and his routine about things you find in the check out lanes of grocery stores.

George Carlin will be very much missed as he was an icon in the entertainment industry-- not simply a performer but an "artist".

We'd listen to 8 track tapes  and records if it was calm of his out at sea when I was in the Navy and laugh our asses off!

This really sucks. Carlin will always be one of my favorite comedians ever. His books were very nice to read as well. His book on Jesus passing the Pork Chops was great. RIP George.
