Bobbo,

Thank You. George Carlin will be greatly missed.

A little thinking sort of humor goes a long way!

 

Wow, some classics in there.

I got to see him in Santa Barbara.....I guess in the early 80's. Even then a tad to young to appreciate.

 

I believe I own every "vinyl" album he ever produced. Saw him in Fort Wayne, IN in early 80's. Very funny man.

 

Half of the humor in that list was reading it silently to myself with his voice in my brain--if that makes any sense.

I never really got into comics but he was one that was in instant "shut up he's on the radio/tv. "
