George Carlin, Grammy-Winning Exponent of Black Humor, Dies
Then, I wake up to this headline. He was my favorite comedian! George Carlin was smart and funny and so sharp you could hurt your brain grasping what he had to say. He was a true hero, fighting the system for our freedom to express ourselves and actively working for free speech. He was in the trenches, speaking his mind and to hell with the consequences. Poking at people and getting them to think for themselves. I will miss his biting humor and acerbic wit. I was really hoping to get to see him live before he went, but alas, tis not to be.
Thank you George, for all the laughs, the tears and the occasional fart joke. Thanks for opening my eyes and making me think. Thanks for making me look smart and funny when I stole some of your lines. Thanks for being the ornery bastard who was not afraid to verbally punch people in the face when they needed it. May you find your rest at the end of your journey.
Here’s to you, George … Rest In Peace
or copy and paste if that’s not working …
Namaste,
Lina
