The least we can do is not let his ideas and vision die with him :) George is dead. Long live George! :D

George Carlin was not the kind of comic hat says did you hear about the chicken who crossed the road? His was more of a make you question the age old question....WHY? That is what was different about him.

He seemed like a cool guy. I'm glad I saw him live. Love it when he said, "It's important in life if you don't give a shit. It can help you a lot."

Oh man, it's great to hear Carlin talk like this. He really was passionate and self-conscious to the end. Not just some comic setting up some generic pins and knocking them down again, but a true artist.
