Deserves his own thread. I got to see him in three shows. The last one (in Denver) was his We are all Diseased Tour.
I almost peed my pants during this rant (filmed elsewhere). He was (IS) a master of the human condition.
That is why I consider him a saint. Please add further Carlin shit forthwith.

Then there is this:
American's love bullshit!
It's interesting how powerful and transformative his comedy is for so many people. Not only did he say what people were thinking, he added new thoughts which were let loose into the marketplace of ideas.
My personal favorite bit is "A place for my stuff".
As a person that is not driven by materialism the bit is quite funny. But it also points out real stress I feel when traveling. What the back do I do with this stuff. Everyone has that thought. But no one notices the thought until he did the bit.
Sheer brilliance!
He has been my mentor from an early age.
"Son, I have tried to be both, a mother and a father to you."
"Go- fuck yourself!"

7 words you can't say on television (or ham radio, mostly) was my first glance at George Carlin and I've never been the same since. ;^)
