Yeah seen it ... the man was quite brilliant!
Kyu
Woo hoo! A fellow George Carlin fan?
I actually only found out about him a month or two after his death! I found out via this forum, someone told me of him - I can't remember who now.
I watched his latest stand up and I watched all down to his 8th (7 stand ups from last (his 14th and final) to 8th).
Truly awesome. His early stand ups I've seen clips are and are very good - but I don't think they're quite as good because less controversal. I saw an interview with him on youtube and he said he didn't really truly find his voice until his stand up 'Jammin' in New York' which was in 1992.
So I've seen his hbos from the first in 1988 till the last in 2008 thus far...I hope to see more and have seen clips but a lot of the stuff in youtube is being taken down now...
I am totally and truly planning to buy all 14 of his stand ups and his books WHEN I have to money.
