Thank the invisible man in the sky for your great interviews, Charlie. I already miss George. I grew up buying his records in the seventies and his brilliant mind has influenced my sense of humor and perspective on life. Thanks so much for making this available online...at least this way I can get one more look at one of my heroes.

Carlin was "the comedian's comedian," but he was beyond that as well. Brilliant satirist and social critic, he had big gigantic Godzilla balls that enabled him to fear nothing. Bill Maher said that Carlin was fearless, and he;s right - no one spoke truth to power the way he did.
A true American treasure, his voice is a beacon in the fog.

George Carlin and Richard Pryor, with all respect to Lenny Bruce, were the two most significant comic artists of the 20th Century. Their genius will be celebrated with each generation to come. We will miss you George, as we have missed Richard. America may "love war" and have peculiar "rules" for our national past times, but we will always treasure George Carlin well beyond a mere "seven words."
