George is Dead
George Carlin’s comedy was a staple in our house growing up. My dad loved him, and mom loved to laugh. His passing makes me feel like I’ve lost that one uncle who always has something provocative to say at the family Christmas party. To this day, my brother and sisters shamelessly repeat/quote some of his acts. My favorite of all time is the “I’m goin for a drive, ya’ll MotherFu&%$^# are going for a ride”
Joshua and I saw him a few years back. He wasn’t just a comedian, he was thought provoking, timely, and overall, the best damnd comedian I have EVER seen. We’ll miss you, George.
Please feel free to comment and let me know how you feel about George, his life and his death.

Love your blog.
Did you see the SNL this weekend from 1975 with George Carlin hosting and Janet Ian as the musical guest? Pretty great! What a nice tribute.
