Goodbye George Carlin
« on: June 23, 2008, 01:58:13 am »
Apparently died of Heart Failure in Santa Monica. He was 71.

One of the first comedians I can remember just flooring me with EVERY joke.

Carlin was hands down one of the greats.  To me he was so much more then a comedian, he was a social scientist and philosopher.  His standup ranged from slapstick silliness to the deepest insights on human behavior.  Listening to him would always cause me to look at myself and those around me in a completely different light.

The only comedian that I have ever paid money to see.  Pretty much the only comedian that I really found funny.

Ever see a police car in your rearview mirror and feel really relieved when you realize you don\'t have a shitload of cocaine in the trunk?

I was unaware that his arrest etc was the basis for the Supreme Court case that helped to define what is considered to be profanity.

I guess the first time he did the routine there were kids in the audience, one whos dad was a cop so he arrested Carlin for Disorderly Conduct. In an interview from the time he said it wouldn\'t have made a difference if he had known kids were in the audience.

RIP funny man

Oh and the Guy from Galactic was just arrested for using Motherfucker at a concert in Virginia the other day. They arrested him for "Abusive Language"
