A moment of silence as we bid a fond farewell to a comedic genius.
George Carlin, 71, died sunday in LA of heart failure.
I can't say how much I enjoyed George's quick wit and insatiable hunger for human stupidity.
I can't put it into words, which is just what he would have done.
He was brilliant, cynical, perceptive, pessimistic, sarcastic, intuitive, masterful, and a slew of other superlatives I could keep adding...
His "Class Clown" album was my first experience with his all-knowing, well-versed examination of the human psyche. Just as quick-witted about politics and religion as with the mundane aspects of daily life, he stood alone as a pioneer of comedy.
With his countless HBO specials, albums, books, acting gigs, and TV appearances, we'll have alot to remember him by.
As if we'd ever forget.

He'll be missed.
See ya George. Wherever you are, I'm sure they're laughing...
