George Carlin- 1937- 2008



We have lost another legend.

I was too young for his introduction to American Audiences with the Hippy Dippy Weatherman....and when he unleashed the 7 words you can't say on TV. (Words this blog will live by as well)

My introduction to George was on HBO. He had mellowed a little by this time, using cuss words more as a shock value than as pure substance. What I loved about him was his ability to take the English Language and turn it completely on its ear.

For those without HBO, George was introduced to a new audience in the big hit "Bill & Ted's excellent Adventure." He played Rufus, the caretaker for our heroes.

His wit, and observations will be sorely missed.
