sad news.

Defiant and hilarious.

A courageous, intelligent man confronting the hypocrisies of human nature and attacking many conventions of the control grid.

And also pissed off, like any reasonably awake individual should be these days.

May you rest in peace George, you will be remembered.

Posted before but just a reminder...

[gruts]

he was one of the greats....

most people mellow out as they get older - but carlin's comedy started off laid back but got angrier and more abrasive in his later years.

here's a great bit from his 1992 "jammin in new york" album....

"....who were the last white people you can remember that we bombed? In fact, can you remember any white people we ever bombed? The Germans! Those are the only ones! And that was only because they were trying to cut in on our action. They wanted to dominate the world! bs! That's our fckin' job...."

[Reflecter]

That's really tragic news. Rest in peaceful anger George.

I find it difficult to speak about a talented human who is now no longer with us.

It was about a year or so ago that this forum introduced me to George Carling.

How did I miss him out for so long?

Why oh why did his message not reach me?

It's not often that I sit and laugh and smile at utoob.

This human being speaks. Inside his words, outside his words, he tells us what we want to know, what we already think we know.

Comedic talent - beyond a doubt.

George, you are and always will be a fabulous, funny, witty, fast thinking man.

Thank you.
