“If it’s true that our species is alone in the universe, then I’d have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.” George Carlin
When I was a 10 year-old kid listening to the Sunday Funnies on CHUM FM (which no longer airs but is available by podcast), one comedian stood out. It was George Carlin.
George Carlin was a rite of passage. I didn’t quite get all of the references in his routine back then, but I knew I would one day (lots of Carlin quotes here). And, after I heard the “7 words you can never say on TV” (uncensored on an 8-track cassette), there was no going back.
Thanks George, you were one of a kind.

Him and Richard Pryor for me. (I know old school people will go farther back and point to other comics who worked blue like Lenny Bruce and Red Foxx, but these were the ones in the 70s saying stuff nobody had previously, and with larger audiences.)
Thanks for the comment Bill. I loved what you had to say about George.
