George Carlin. His very name is enough to envoke laughter in fans young and old. The man was possibly the funniest person to ever live, or in the top 5 in no particular order. A genius of the highest caliber. He will be missed greatly, but we were lucky to have him around as long as we did. People of his caliber very rarely live to see old age. He belongs with the other great artists of the ages such as Cobain, Morrison, and Hendrix.All of his work was clasic and he only got better thru the years. Do yourself a favor and buy all of his works.

George Carlin was....Brilliant. He was before his time, a man for all times, and will outlive his time for years to come. I would hope your grandchildren's grandchildren can witness at least one of his distinctive performances. He was, without a doubt, a master of his craft. (This is intended as an overall review.)

Interesting to see how awkward he was in his younger comic years, he had changed quite significantly since then. I find it pretty incredible that he was the very first host for SNL, he has influenced so many comedians and remained the master of comedy to his death.You can see in this clip that Carlin started out very conservative and followed the politically-correct rules as he was expected to (except his jokes about Americans taking land from the Indians). He quickly abandoned that shell and that's when he really showed his true talents and became a giant. As of this moment I am downloading all of his previous performances and am looking forward to looking back on his philosophical commentary and comedic wit. RIP George Carlin, and Joe bless you all.
