I remember him when he was preppy, before he “freaked out” and “turned-on”.
About the time Vietnam got real nasty. He had some good jokes about that which gave us a good laugh at the time. Believe me, we needed it.

"I recently went to a new doctor and noticed he was located in something called the Professional Building. I felt better right away."
"I think people should be allowed to do anything they want. We haven't tried that for a while. Maybe this time it'll work."
"Some people see things that are and ask, Why? Some people dream of things that never were and ask, Why not? Some people have to go to work and don't have time for all that."
"Weather forecast for tonight: dark."
"What does it mean to pre-board? Do you get on before you get on?"
"Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things."
RIP, George.

The fellow passed away ... a little decorum would be nice.
He gave us a few laughs and some of those laughs were at ourselves. Where's the harm?

Yeah, I didn't care for him much in his later years.
Although I liked the piece about the car gang that would break into cars at quick marts without damaging anything, and the only thing they would do was crank up the volume on the radio, so when the "victim" got back in the car with the milk, and started the car, the volume would blast him out, and he'd be left thinking, "Well, it wasn't this loud when I got out of the car...".

He wanted to offend people, so nasty commments (and, the comment above was not nasty) are the tribute he would want.

Sad as it is, I hope he realized it before he passed. There is still hope for all souls.

I suppose that would make sense in some perverse way, if it, in fact, made sense.

You can blame me for saying what needed to be said. Something we will all face one day. Joking about ideology is fair game, but Carlin took it a step further, which falls into the category of “harm”.
It’s all about the “legacy” we will all be remembered for, both good and bad.

He didn't believe in religion and poked fun at it, so don't listen.
There was a lot more material that was simply funny and even made us think a little.
So step down from your high horse and recognize that he passed away and, just maybe, The Boss greeted him saying, "See George? You were wrong. Now come sit by me."
