He was a friggin' genius! He came to my little town about ten years ago. I was too busy to go and see him. I thought I would have another chance, but it wasn't to be. I will always regret that.

Pure genius.

But honestly, he has so many concert albums that you can pretty much get the whole experience from.

And then there is YouTube...

I've listened to his albums and watched his videos; but there's nothing like seeing someone like him in person, feeling the energy of the crowd.

I miss him too

I often wonder what he would say about some current event. Imagine his take on the current congress, delicious!

Thanks, that was awesome, just when I thought I'd heard everything Carlin had to say about the right.

Ever wonder what do Elections and Bubble Baths have in common?

They both bring the SCUM Line at the TOP.

Should he have lived further, he would have seen the statistics back up his supposition regarding how much influence the voting public have with what is passed by who we place in office.

You're still just as (if not more so) relevant today than you were when you created these masterpieces. So illuminating, on point, funny, and truthful!!!

Regan only acted out his role of Corrupt Politician with the Public's BEST Interests at heart.

Ain't that right or what?
