I miss him too...what a brilliant mind. <br /><br />I don't know if you remember Kay, but Winston (our great blogging buddy) loved George and would often quote him or link to one of his videos. What's so ironic is that Winston posted a piece on George...and it turned out to be his last post. Winston died just a few days after George did.

Later on he was so angry, but so true. It's exactly what I want to tell people now and of course no one wants to hear it now either (although it seems more and more obvious to me).Cinderellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08944325468803416106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20703123.post-84300202815558417092011-06-25T07:15:21.412-04:002011-06-25T07:15:21.412-04:00I loved Carlin.

He would have gone down a storm.<br /><br />The late, great Bill Hicks was one american comedian who was more popular here than he was in the States.

I loved the first piece, especially since he mentions Hawaii in it and STUFF. The second piece is so true, but sad and scary too. He was a commentator who was telling it like it is.<br />Thanks, Kay!
