Fuck.
Just fuck.
That's all I got.
Rest in Peace, George.
God knows you tried to wake us up.
dammit. that sucks. big time.
Man, that hurts.
I'd say there were three people who helped me get through the angst-ridden years of my teens and twenties:
George Carlin
Kurt Vonnegut
Isaac Asimov
Things just got a little darker today.
Thanks, George. You were the best.
oh fuck.
omg. he said it so right.... at the right time.
very sad to hear this. :-(
Are those the seven words you can't say on the radio? Just checking....
one more thing taken from us during the reign of king george...
Damn, just now hearing about this.
He meant it all to me as a teenager the first time I SAW the Hippy Dippy Weather Man. And Then, I realized thru the years he was SO much more.
Not only was he one of us, he was our media mouthpiece.
Thanks Mr. Carlin, here's to more hi's and fewer lo's for you up there, and us down here . . .
Damn . . . this sure has been a fuckin sad shit week or so with fires, floods, friends burnt out in the Santa Cruz region, politics and now this . . .
Damn. Dawg Bless his ass and family too.
Thanks Hube, for bringing it to me . . .
KNEW there was something extra pissin me off.
We lost U. Utah Phillips, just a week or so ago, too.
Another media voice for all us we the people.
These two were huge with their voices for us all.
Sigh.
You beat me to it Hubris - R.I.P. George...
RIP, Mr. Carlin, you made an enormous difference to a confused AA teenage girl, many years ago.
you have continued to inspire sharp thought, and to evince a kind of manic sweetness, a surety of purpose that only you could create.
I can only hope that Richard Pryor, Warren Zevon, Bill Hicks, and Hunter are somehow there with all of your loved ones. wherever you are.
Couldn't sleep so I went to the 'net to read the NYTimes. And there was his picture on the front page...
I grew up watching him on TV. I saw him live only once -- at the Paramount Theatre in Peekskill.
Gonna miss him and his observations on life... aww, man, it sticks.
RIP George.
Fuck. It is a sad, sad day indeed. One of the best, ever.
Goodbye, George. You'll be missed.

Let it rip, George:

Aw DAMN!
That hurts.
Boy, Carlin was really something...a pioneer in challenging the 1st Amendment with his Seven Dirty Words You Can't Say on Television riff.
He was very effective and funny as a curmungeon - not everybody can pull that off.
Another famous skit he was known for was "A Place for Your Stuff"...something like that.
He grew up on the block I lived on when I was a grad student at Columbia University...Morningside Heights.
RIP, George. I know you're laughing at all of these motherfuckers down there!
I thought I felt a disturbance in the "force", now I know why. Rest in peace
George Carlin.
I had to wake up this morning to see this.
Damn it.
He will be missed.
Let me add a resounding and loving "FUCK!" to the chorus here. George gave us all hope that there's humor in everything and taught us all to laugh at the absurdities of life.
Here's to ye, lad!!
Wanna see a George Carlin you didn't know was there? Rent "Prince of Tides," directed by Barbra Streisand (starring Streisand and Nick Nolte). She had the stones to cast Carlin as a gay New Yorker in Greenwich Village. His entrance was a complete surprise, and a sweet one.
Yeah, he saved my life in my teens, the 1970s, too.
