One of my favorite bits of his was from SNL when he opined that he wanted athletes on drugs; that he wanted to see a drugged out hoops game and a weightlifter lift 3000 pounds.

I racked my brain to remember any Hip Hop songs that reference George, but couldnt think of any. RIP.

So I’m not big on watching the news so I didn’t hear about this until i opened your blog up and then I literally grabbed my chest and gasped. George was an amazing man. He was definitely one of my favorites, and I don’t have many favorite comedians. I also came across him at a young age and followed him ever since. I just recently watched his most recent special “..It’s Bad For Ya” about a month or so ago and he was just as raunchy, and vulgar as always and I loved it. I still to this day think he had the best Aristocrats skit. R.I.P. George

George Carlin was one of my all time favorite “comedians” although what he did wasn’t so much comedy as it was social commentary. He and Dick Gregory were two sides of the same coin. Carlin cut his teeth doing comedy in Black clubs and taking that “anything goes/nothing is taboo” aesthetic and expounding on it until he created his own niche in comedy.

He made the “HBO/Showtime” comedy special an event all by his lonesome and he pushed the boundaries every time he came out with something new. I got George Carlin quotes for days. How about the bigger the hat, the more powerful you are in the church joke where he explained what kind of hat he though God would wear in Heaven?

Rest in eternal peace, George Carlin.

One.
