What can you say about George Carlin that hasn't already been said? Genius, visionary, very hard-working man...perhaps, the hardest working comic/writer in the business - and, in my humble opinion, one of the greatest contemporary philosophers of our time. I've always felt a very deep connection with Carlin for more reasons than I have time to enumerate, right now. I often post things about him because I want to see the legacy of this incredible man live on for as long as I'm still breathing, at the very least, and long after I'm gone - if there is any justice in this world. Here's George in an interview - the very best he ever attended...and my own personal favorite - conducted by Jon Stewart when he was much younger and before he was a household name. There are so many interesting and truthful things in this video, especially the discussions about the type of school he attended (and the way he turned out as a result - something to think about), his predictions about Stewart and, as usual, his perspectives about so many other things. You will always be missed... Rest in peace, George! #GeorgeCarlin #JonStewart - Great video of a young Jon Stewart interviewing George Carlin. Both comedy legends! IMHO
