The Passing of a Comedic Icon.

It's been a couple of days since his death and I'm still shock. His death was just out of the blue, much like Tim Russet's (R.I.P.), and it's made me think about life and the legacy we leave behind. I have been around long enough to say with great confidence that George Carlin is-was-and will be one of the greatest comedians we will ever know. George Carlin went to jail setting standards, and went through life breaking barriers for all of us. Carlin was a humorist, a bibliophile, and a true humanist. From the kids like mine who grew up watching him on 'Shining Time Station' to the Kevin Smith movie fans who discovered him in 'Dogma', to the fans of his writing (his books were just as funny as his stand-up) to the old farts like me who remember the "Hippy Dippy Weather Man" back in the 60's and have been watching his T.V. specials and going to his concerts ..... we will all miss this extraordinary man.
