R.I.P. George Carlin
What a funny guy. I saw him live in 2000 or maybe 2001 when he performed at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, FL. Personally, I liked his shows better when they were on HBO. He was a little too filthy for me in a Live context. But, if I really think about it — that was just George.
I do mourn his death. Too many of today’s comedians who make it to the big time jump over to movies and abandon the most part of their live stand up career. Not so, Carlin. Yes, we saw him in movies over and over, but the man WAS stand up. He never turned from it. He showed up for the audiences over and over. He never stopped giving us the REAL comedy experience.
