George Carlin : 1937-2008
-
Carlin had always been my favorite comedian. And as someone who’s trying to break into the world of comedy, I always kept his work in mind when writing. Only one day could I hope to be as funny, dirty and relevant as he was.
Carlin was a genius of comedy that had a strong influence over everyone who followed him. His views on religion, politics, censorship and many other things were always biting funny but also true. If you’ve never heard his “Seven Dirty Words” bit, then do yourself a favor now.

I’m sad to say that I really never got into Mr. Carlin’s comedy, but I immediately took a liking to him as a kid in Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure and future movies. I do know that he influenced at least a couple generations of people and challenged how we all think. We need people like him in society and he will be missed.
Oh, and I just saw “Seven Dirty Words” and it truly is funny.
