The wonderful wino, hippy dippy weather man and speaker of the "7" words will be remembered forever as one of the best stand up comedians of all time.

RIP.......

Loved the man, and was privileged to see him live ... He had a lot to say in a pithy way ...

RIP...


from the Associated Press:

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- George Carlin, the dean of counterculture
comedians whose biting insights on life and language were
immortalized in his "Seven Words You Can Never Say On TV"
routine, died of heart failure Sunday. He was 71.
Carlin, who had a history of heart trouble, went into St. John's
Health Center in Santa Monica on Sunday afternoon complaining of
chest pain and died later that evening, said his publicist, Jeff
Abraham. He had performed as recently as last weekend at the
Orleans Casino and Hotel in Las Vegas.
"He was a genius and I will miss him dearly," Jack Burns, who
was the other half of a comedy duo with Carlin in the early 1960s,
told The Associated Press.

Saw him in the late 80's at the Stanley Theatre in Utica, unfortunately it was a night after partying and believe it or not I was dozing off during his performance.

RIP to a truly funny guy. I enjoyed his style of humor, which was geared towards a certain demographic. Always enjoyed hearing his 'take' on issues. Sad news of his passing...

RIP George.

To be honest, I didn't think he was very funny. Then again, I never laughed at Bob Hope either.
