Dude was a hero of mine when I was still a child.

Ain’t nobody ever going to fill the hole he left.
I would dearly LOVE to hear what he would have to say about the State of the Union and the election now!!

Can you imagine the shit Kinnison would cut loose with?

Carlin and Kennison. The dynamic duo skewering everyone and everything. I still watch Kennison’s rant on divorce occasionally. Every male should be forced to watch that one before he decides to get married.

I think the man was the Frank Zappa of comedy.

“The Frank Zappa of comedy”.
That is brilliant.

Well shit, was thinking about your music preferences for some odd reason, and Frank Zappa pops up, and how sharp they guy was, and thats why you admire Carlin, mind like a trap, brilliance, not very different than Zappa, and us old farts are all contemporaries, and your savvy like those two.
Kind of came unbidden. Serendipity?
But yeah, its brilliant because those two shined like few others of our time, mostly because they are truly honest Joes who understood what it is to be a common man. And never took it for granted. Honored it like a badge of humble courage.
Look at the both of them, between them they probably fit into the cracks of their performances more good shit about liberty and freedom than the rest of entertainments whole population combined.
Some would say they both had a cult following. I’d contend ot was honest heart felt admiration, and they both knew how to make you take a step back and laugh at shit about ourselves.
Who doesn’t like a dog doo snow-cone or yellow snow?
God, they where they a fuckin stitch. Would listen to Zappa till I fell asleep, we would walk around telling Carlin one liners. Was Groucho Marx as good at the one liners as George?
Zappa had no equal, total outlier, but a mind like a steel trap. Named his daughter Moonbeam, and made it classy.
Shit.

He seemed to be pretty bitter about everything towards the end. I couldn’t listen to some of his last stuff.
Early Carlin? Truly a class act!

Agreed. I saw him in Nashville in mid 90’s . Just an entire show of him bitching. Not funny at all.

George Carlin was awesome and was pushing the anti-establishment against governmental interference a long time before it was mainstream. How he viewed everyday events and used it as a part of his comedy routine was great. I still have a few of his 33 vinyl comedy albums but haven’t heard them in over 30 years. He used visuals well but the words are enough.

So far ahead of his time. Referenced him yesterday to a friend about voting doesn’t matter that I believed it but did not have the heart to not apply my God given right. That has now been solved as you have heard me say I will never vote again until the revolution is over.
Kennison so no more as well.

I liked George as Rufus. Missed him in the latest Bill and Ted, the daughters arc was great. It threw me for a loop but it matched the script and the spirit of the first one.
