Voice of Truth

by Farrokh (not verified) on Mon Jun 23, 2008 04:24 PM PDT

Mr. carlin truly was a voice of truth in his acts. He was masterfully able to make his addressee laugh about facts he told them. Facts for which they should really have cried...

"let's appreciate Of that ilk....(sorta kinda), Penn & Teller and Bill Maher, Robin Williams...."

I ethusiastically second your proposal, Majid.
Specially amen for Bill Maher...

Great artist

One of the smartest comics that ever lived. He'd probably joke about his own death if he knew it coming soon. He'll be missed in my house.

Getting his message

Admittedly I was just like everyone else my age who liked him because he "said bad words".  It was only when I was a little older that I really appreciated WHAT he was saying.  Our generation has lost a tremendous voice.

RIP

Not only was he unbelievably funny and entertaining, he was way ahead of his time. I doubt if many people understood that more often than not the joke was on them, as the same stupidity and ignorance that he was observing in everyday society in his standup act was and still is being practiced by people everyday.

His kind will not be seen again, I'm afraid.

As I said, he was at his best talking about these topics.

Although that piece was the one mentioned most whenever someone spoke of Carlin's work, my favorites were the ones he discussed the social issues especially religion and politics. For example We like War  and the ten commandments.

He was brilliant.

So true! He was great in these areas. Here is another one especially recommended for the uptight censors of this website:
