| Colonel Calamity  |  George Carlin RIP George Carlin mourned as a counterculture hero - Yahoo! News Quote:
Sucks that he is gone. Time to buy up his original stuff before they start watering down and re-releasing politically correct versions of his work... edit: also on foxnews, a bit better story about him I think FOXNews.com - Counterculture Comedian George Carlin Dies at 71 - Celebrity Gossip | Entertainment News | Arts And Entertainment   Thanks HL and Corsair!

| Lvl 1 College Student  | Re: George Carlin RIP Man, that sucks. I have all of Carlin's books, and they're practically the only ones that I've completely read multiple times that are on my bookshelf. :( We were just talking about him last night too. (his "pussification of America" bit)   |

Yea, Jim Gaffigan, Lewis Black, and Patton Oswalt are all excellent comedians, but they don't hold a candle to George Carlin. | |

| redrum  | Re: George Carlin RIP He had heart trouble for quite a few years.Doing weed,and cocaine and cigs and cigars and booze....I'd say he lived a "normal" amount of time for the things he had done.I liked his comedy and had never seen him live.He visited my area quite frequently,but never had the time or $ to go.He will be missed.You know he was once a carnival organist...and he lost a radio job,because he took the radio station van to NY to buy weed  George Carlin  Last edited by oldman_gamer; June 23rd, 2008 at 14:08. |

| Re: George Carlin RIP Carlin was a class act who really did things his way. Carlin was the guy who broke the ground for his class of humor, a ground breaking that when he used the seven deadly words in a single script earned a government investigation. He literally paved the way for the many comics who followed him. Ron  |

| Re: George Carlin RIP Goodbye to the Hippy Dippy Weatherman. He was getting quite a bit more cynical the last few years but he always was somewhat that way. Great Comedian.  |

Then you need to listen to some of Redd Foxx's early works. Stuff from before George was an 'up an comer' comedian.
