I was just about to post about it.

I grew up listening to George Carlin records with my family. Brilliant, one-of-a-kind, hysterically funny comedian.

He will be missed.

I was hoping it was a hoax, but it is not. Definately in my top 3 comedians. RIP

I'm numb. This hurts. There was Carlin and then there was everyone else. &#%$ indeed.

I'm more sad about Carlin than Tim Russert.

Is that wrong?

The first time I heard George Carlin was when my boyfriend played the album to me over the phone. I laughed so hard, I cried. We also saw him in concert in Austin around that same time; this was the AM & FM album era.

This was the first news I heard this morning and it made me very sad.

The seven dirty words you can't say on television and "A place for my stuff" are my two favorite acts of his. I think of the latter every time I pack to go on vacation. I had them on a tape back when I was in college.

He was the best comedian ever, appealing to many generations over his time with us. He was such a gifted man. He will be missed. RIP George.
