It's never a good start to the week when the first thing you hear is the death of George Carlin.
Many consider Richard Pryor to be the greatest stand-up comedian of all-time, but in my humble opinion, it's Carlin. While they were similar in their syles and few could go from fart jokes to everyday observations to political humor like they could, Carlin's delivery remains unmatched.
Still disturbing in a way that my introduction to him was as Mr. Conductor on Shining Time Station.
Rest In Peace George: A Legend, pioneer, and an influence.

I did not realize Carlin was 71 until Monday, and was thinking for someone that age who had done as much coke as he had he looked good. In that picture though, he looks about 101.
Sad to see him go. Some of these popular guys nowadays could learn a thing or two from him.
