For me it started with my parents records of Class Clown and FM-AM. Were that era his only legacy he would still be remembered as a great comic. But in the years since he was so much more. Stand-up philosopher, yes. Ranting misanthrope, perhaps. But in a term stolen from several other memorials I've read and too true to leave out, our nations preeminent bullshit detector. Apart from that, I agree with this guy.

Yeah, I imagine that's fitting in its way. I imagine his response to it all would be that Brooklyn favorite, the raspberry. My favorite of all the comments and tributes I've seen out there:
"Good bye, George Carlin, and fuck you. "
Not to mention, your tribute was actually a play on the bizarre way we use language, which is precisely Carlin's milieu. (See how I used French there to piss off both you and the dead?)
