George Carlin

Another one. God what a sucky year for losing cultural icons (and really good additions to the DNA pool). George Carlin is dead.

I don't have time to tell you everything George Carlin meant to me. A lot. He was *the* comedian who shaped my young world view. (Did my mother grasp what I was taking in watching The Mike Douglas Show at 4PM after school? The show looked innocent enough.

Will. Be. Missed. Influence will never be lost. I'd like to do a better photo tribute when I have time. Such a gorgeous, expressive face.

In lieu of the photo tribute I bring you this.







Shit
Piss
Fuck
Cunt
Cocksucker
Motherfucker
Tits

More fitting anyway.

(Fuck! George Carlin died, motherfucker!! :( )


----------------------------------------

edit p.s.: I was trying to think of an analogy to explain to my kids *who* George Carlin was in the time in which I grew up.

I came up with George Carlin = Stephen Colbert. Relentless tugging at establishment thought to the point of all out assault...yet with a charm that transcended bitterness. Brilliance in nuance one moment, jaw dropping audacity the next.

And always a twinkle directed straight at *you* thru the teevee screen, (if you got the joke).
