June 22, 2008 we crossed the comedy rubicon. Life continues along now without a sape that was so unavoidable, so inevitable, so unforgetable, that it'll take most of us the rest of our lives to put his out of our collective consciousness. I think I know where he's hiding though...LOL
George Carlin was a unique EXO. Sure he had the utopian mindset down and was great at what he called 'emotional detachment'. He rooted for the Harlem Globetrotters. Why? "There's no losing, no stats, no strikes, no trades, no postseason, and no annoying media. Just winning, all the time, every night." That was his style. He found a way to live among us and yet not be stuck in some of the paradoxes, dilmemmas and self-defeat that claim huge chunks of our lives. Yet George had his flaws. His addictions and long battles in recovery cost him his health, maybe his longevity too. But the time he shared with us is just beginning to be appreciated. Like most artists, George will be more famous 100 years from now, if you can believe he can be more famous. To him, we're like dinner theater. He just showed up and commented on what he saw. He will never be misquoted.
Travel Light George...thanks for the answers...the quest is ongoing.
