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.
Hands down my favorite comedian ever. I was just thinking a few days ago about how it'd be great to go see him perform again. AGDee, the "stuff" bit is one of my favorites too.
