Been a long time since I've posted here on ReaderRant, and this topic may be a lil late, as Mr. Carlin died on Sunday night. But I just heard about it now while watching the show about him on Bio channel, and it said "Remembering George Carlin". Hit me like a ton of bricks. I may be young but I remember listening to him when I was 8 years old, my next oldest brother, 16 at the time had an album of his on vinyl! Was funny as hell, although I really didn't get all of the jokes, but most of them. I'm severely saddened by the loss of this comic genius, but with 15+ albums, 10+ HBO specials etc his cynicism, wit and observational greatness will last the length of stored media. I wish the best to his family. Loved and will continue to love the man, personally he showed me the lighter side of serious issues and helped me to always remember to question everything anyone tries to "tell" me.

Addition : I mean, come on, how many comedians have a Supreme Court case with their name on it?
