“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
Jesus said it.
George Carlin told it.
“George Carlin mourned as a counterculture hero”
Like it or not... George Carlin changed our world forever.

"So my name is a footnote in American legal history, which I’m perversely kind of proud of," he told The Associated Press earlier this year.
He won four Grammy Awards, each for best spoken comedy album, and was nominated for five Emmy awards. On Tuesday, it was announced that Carlin was being awarded the 11th annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, which will be presented Nov. 10 in Washington and broadcast on PBS.
"We were working in Chicago, and we went to see Lenny(Bruce), and we were both blown away," (George)Burns said, recalling the moment as the beginning of the end for their collaboration if not their close friendship. "It was an epiphany for George. The comedy we were doing at the time wasn’t exactly groundbreaking, and George knew then that he wanted to go in a different direction."
That direction would make Carlin as much a social commentator and philosopher as comedian, a position he would relish through the years.
"The whole problem with this idea of obscenity and indecency, and all of these things — bad language and whatever — it’s all caused by one basic thing, and that is: religious superstition," Carlin told the AP in a 2004 interview. "There’s an idea that the human body is somehow evil and bad and there are parts of it that are especially evil and bad, and we should be ashamed. Fear, guilt and shame are built into the attitude toward sex and the body. ... It’s reflected in these prohibitions and these taboos that we have."
Keep learning. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil’s workshop." And the devil’s name is Alzheimer’s. ~George Carlin
Rest in Peace, old friend.
