George
Carlin Dead at 71 <clickComedian George Carlin has died of heart failure.
RIP
He was one of my favorite comedians,
because he always pushed the envelope!
He was arrested for saying the 7 Deadly Words
at a venue in Milwaukee, in the 70′s.The man could make me really belly laugh.
Didn’t realize that he was already in his 70′s.
He’s going to make the place he goes to riotous!
There’ll be people with tears in their eyes,
from laughing so hard.Brave on, George!

I heard the news this morning on the radio….such a shame I loved this mans way of thinking!
so sad
Very sad….I get really nervous when people in my age bracket start dying, and there has been a lot of that going on lately.
Hey Laurie!:sunny:
I read about George Carlin 1st thing when I woke up, and I couldn’t believe it!So sad!:( He was MY favorite comedian.
Gonna miss George. That man highlighted most of my life with his humor! And his wit and wisdom. I didn’t always agree with his point of view but I sure laughed at the way he said it.
What a loss! He will be missed!
He was a hoot! My husband watches a lot of his stuff on TV and really liked him. He was too young to go!

He was a hero of mine- not just because he was funny, but because he was smart as a whip too. Him and Pryor are up there having a great time, I’m sure.
Tons of tributes to him:heartbeat:
That is a big loss. I love you Laurie. Judi
It’s hard to find that comedians that make you laugh and make you think. He was a favorite of mine as well.:cry:
How did he die? Or is that a stupid question? I am guessing old age.
RYC: Nice to hear from you. I’m doing okay in most areas. Hope you are well. It looks like you’re still into lots of bright and beautiful activities. Sorry to hear about George Carlin.
Yup. Speak on George.
Hiya Laurie…
I work rotating shifts, and am working 3rd shift right now. Which means I tape the NASCAR race and watch it the next morning when I get home, so I missed the news and had no idea… He was a favorite of mine and will be missed… He was brilliant… Thank you for the message…
Hugs
I’m sad that he’s gone. I had no idea he was 71 tho! Loved him best in Dogma!
He was a very intelligent comediens. He had a great wit and a great sense of irony.
I seriously grew up on George Carlin. Everyone in my family watched him and I watched him and read his books. He was amazingly hilarious but also very truthful with his comedy. I’ll miss his humor
I know, he even made you think with his jokes!
He was one of a kind! He’ll be missed! I loved him!
